Agricultural Supply Chain Risk Management in the Post-epidemic Era

Abstract

The COVID-19 has spread in more than 200 countries and regions around the world. China, as the first country to fight the epidemic, took measures such as social isolation, regional blockade, and traffic control, which had a positive effect on preventing the spread of the epidemic, but the agricultural supply chain in the control area received a great impact; in terms of international epidemic prevention, all countries are strengthening their border blockade, safeguarding their own food demand, and strict import and export quarantine measures [1 ], which has a huge impact on the global flow of agricultural products, and the lack of imported agricultural products to supplement the supply security of China’s agricultural products is under certain threat. In this paper, by sorting out the paths of the epidemic affecting the supply chain of agricultural products and the characteristics of China’s agricultural supply chain, we deeply analyze the sources of risks in China’s agricultural supply chain under the epidemic, and put forward suggestions such as strengthening the collaborative management of the agricultural supply chain, building a response mechanism and prevention mechanism for the quality and safety of agricultural products, constructing a logistics network suitable for the storage and transportation requirements of agricultural products, and accelerating the construction of a big data platform for the agricultural supply chain.
