The Need for Innovation in the Middle East’s Food Supply Chain

Food security is a serious issue on a global scale, but especially so in countries that rely heavily on imports to feed the population.

Food security is a global issue that needs coordinated action to tackle and calls for innovation in the food supply chain are becoming more urgent.

If estimates of 10 billion to feed by 2050 with less arable land to farm and diminishing water supplies are correct, how will countries feed their populations?

In the GCC region which relies so heavily on food imports, food security is now a pressing issue.

Container sector will play its part in vaccine logistics, eventually

The container sector will play its part in vaccine logistics, eventually, heard delegates at our recent online seminar. Seatrade Maritime took up the story.

The container sector will play its part in global vaccine logistics, but it has some work to do first in order to demonstrate its reliability and availability of appropriate technology, according to the some of the panelists who spoke at our recent online seminar Containing COVID-19: Containerisation’s Role in Global Vaccine Logistics.

Countries looking to cut the cost of vaccine distribution will increasingly look to ocean freight as an alternative to costly air freight. Those vaccines that can be transported in standard refrigeration units will be ideal candidates for ocean transportation.

However detailed visibility data will be required to maintain quality assurance.

Panelists from Maersk, DHL Global Forwarding, PSA International and the World Economic Forum agreed that maritime transport would be adopted for COVID-19 vaccine transportation, but that this would be a gradual roll-out, dependent upon many factors.

A Word from Our Port Partner 2021 – Port of Rotterdam

20/01/2021Cool Events, Cool Industry News, Cool Logistics Global 2021, Cool News, Feb Newsletter Sidesheenaking

The world’s population is growing and the demand for food and the way we consume it is more diverse than ever.

We want our food fresh and we want it now. Over the next few years, import and export of agrofood products are expected to grow annually by 3% and 5% respectively and that growth will obviously have a direct and indirect impact on the supply chain.

As Port of Rotterdam Authority we have developed a series of interviews in which we look at key trends in today’s agrofood sector and the supply chain with a number of experts – both in premium articles and in videos.

Would you like to know more about the latest trends and developments in food and logistics?

Thinking Ahead to Vaccine Logistics

Thinking ahead to vaccine logistics

Our media partners World Cargo News highlighted how in the race to manufacture and then distribute a vital COVID-19 vaccine ocean freight may be called upon to handle some vaccine shipments, but the bigger impact will come from other cargoes bumped out of airfreight, in our session with Hannes Lässig of Gold sponsor Kuehne+Nagel.

FreshPlaza picked up on our session with keynote speaker Andre Simha of our Platinum Sponsors MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company together with Genevieve Leveille of AgriLedger and Anne-Sophie Zerlang Karlsen of TWILL, as we discussed how encouraging customers who rely on logistics to transport food to become more collaborative in developing a more digitally advanced industry to cope with future demand is a vital way forward.
