Yamato Scale launches comprehensive white paper into the impact of Covid-19 and leaving the EU on food manufacturers

We are proud to announce the publication of our detailed report into the impact of Brexit and Covid-19 on the food manufacturing industry.

The white paper, Covid-19 and Brexit: challenges and opportunities for the food processing industry, offers deep insight into how the pandemic combined with leaving the EU may affect the sector.

The 32-page report, prepared by Yamato’s research experts, covers important aspects of the changes, ranging from labelling issues, food safety standards and supply chain management to the impact of Covid-19, the future in a post-Brexit landscape and the changes needed to make workplaces safe.

Looking to the future, Yamato’s team has also analysed the possible changes in consumer behaviour as a result of the pandemic and leaving the EU, the importance of building resilience, the potential impact on investor confidence and how the industry can prepare for the challenges and opportunities that may lie ahead.

Andrea Spencer, Yamato Scale Dataweigh’s Commercial Operations Manager, said: “Our white paper is a comprehensive report on the challenges posed by Covid-19 and leaving the EU. It is also forward-looking as we firmly believe that challenges can lead to opportunities, innovation and the chance for our sector to demonstrate its resilience and its importance to the UK economy.

“The white paper has invaluable information on importing and exporting and examines the availability of equipment and spare parts, which are even more vital to the smooth running of food processing facilities in these difficult times.”
