Abstract

The food supply chain (FSC) comprises food production, storage, delivery, and retailing of food to reach the final customers by the due date. In general, the modern FSC is extraordinarily complex and challenging to manage; therefore, an efficient and effective supply chain requires appropriate management. All actors in the FSC have to keep track of the most recent trends and challenges and respond to changes quickly to keep up production and stay competitive. This paper explains some selected trends and challenges in the modern FSC. Moreover, the influence of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Ukraine war on the FSC are investigated. Despite the new trends and massive improvements in the FSC in terms of efficiency, some current problems remain unsolved, whereas new issues will arise in the future. The COVID-19 outbreak and the Ukraine war are two examples that imposed new challenges and significant consequences on the FSC.
