Croplife Europe’s infographic explains the importance of agri-food trade globally. Did you know that 40% of European exports rely on imported raw materials? European consumers are able to enjoy coffee or chocolate due to strong trade relations and extensive supply chains. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine have highlighted the vital need for free, transparent, and resilient food supply chains in the EU and globally.
This is especially important in the current geopolitical landscape, as food insecurity, impacts of climate change and distribution issues pose a significant threat to the global food supply chain.
