COVID-19 became a worldwide pandemic two months after its first outbreak. The virus is highly contagious,catching people off guard and causing a large number of cases in a short time. The Chinese government has taken swift and effective measures to contain the spread of the epidemic within the country. At the early stage of the outbreak,especially when the virus is unknown and Wuhan city has been sealed off,the supply of people’s livelihood,including the supply of grains & oilseeds products and feed products,met with challenges in the affected areas. As the old saying ‘never waste a good crisis’,the grains and oilseeds supply chain needs to be continuously improved through a joint effort from government and industry,especially to put in place emergency response plan and mechanism to ensure sustenance supply during outbreak. This will also enable grains and oilseeds production supply chain,from raw material production and purchase,production,logistics,to sales,remains functioning to ensure sufficient food supplies subsequently.
