It’s on all of our minds: how to respond to COVID in the packaged food industry, and how to respond and adapt to change during this time of uncertainty. Join me in conversation with fellow food industry consultant Amrit Richmond, as we talk about what’s going on in CPG right now, weeks after coronavirus started to impact our food industry.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
The state of the industry after the cancellation of EXPO West
How brick & mortar and eCommerce stores are responding, and how to interact with wholesale buyers at the present moment
Whether or not you should continue to promote your product
The bright side of being in the food industry right now
What you should think about for the wellbeing of your business and to guard for your future success
