WEBINAR NIGERIA

Overcoming challenges of food security due to COVID-19

According to the latest study of PWC COVID-19 has deepened the already existing challenges in the agricultural industry. You can already see this in the rising food prices in 2020 compared to 2019.

What kind of impact does COVID-19 have on food security, especially on the poultry production chain? How does it affect the import of raw materials and how are the poultry players in Nigeria handling these issues? These questions were answered during the webinar on the 14th of April. Some of the local branch organizations also gave information on how to tackle these challenges collectively, while our panelists in the field brought in real-life case studies to help you through these challenging times.
