Agrifood risk management

Risks and challenges for agri-food companies

Agribusinesses face complex challenges and significant risks-fromsupply chain disruption to climate change to diseases affecting crops and livestock.

In addition, rapid changes in consumer habits, which are increasingly oriented toward safe and sustainable products, are increasing pressure on the industry.

Main causes of uncertainty and economic damage

Multiple factors generate uncertainty, anxiety, and stress in industry operators, who are often unaware of the hard-to-quantify economic damage caused by serious events such as:

Destruction of crops caused by floods and droughts
plant or livestockdiseases
serious accidents at work
Costly recall campaigns and claims for contaminated products
Bacterial proliferation in the cold chain
Failure of a strategic supplier with increased cost of raw materials
Loss of brand trust due to mislabeling that puts consumers’ health at risk

Prevention and protection: the key to continuity

On-farm technical visits and the adoption of IT tools for mapping, reducing, and controlling devastating risks are essential to protect company assets, turnover, and the entire agribusiness supply chain from nasty surprises that can have very serious economic consequences.

Droughts, floods and natural disasters are dramatic events that can bring your business to a halt for months. Have you already calculated the financial damage from missed harvests and interrupted production?

Your food product was contaminated during transport and suppliers cannot process it or put it on the market.
Have you already protected your business from costly claims, recall campaigns and legal fees?

Your food product causes poisonings and deaths among consumers, and you want to prove that the contamination occurred off the production premises.
Have you already calculated how much a lawsuit can cost to protect your brand?
