Résumé : | In 2020, the world suffered a sudden economic recession resulting from an unprecedented health crisis due to Covid-19 that confined millions of people to their homes and shut down all non-essential activities. Countries have rapidly realised how vulnerable they are without food producers, manufacturers and distributors. Based on a case study from Spain, this article compiles first-hand information with the aim of revealing the changes that confinement has wrought on perishable food carriers and manufacturers in Spain. The results confirm a general decline in business activity with significant ups and downs depending on the subsector. In addition, they are consistent with Schumpeters Paradigm of creative destruction in the context of the pressures and disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. In this context, austerity offers companies various opportunities for renewal and finding new solutions, products and markets. These include more effective communication strategies and more efficient methods of planning and managing improved food transport, implementation of new technologies, and development of innovative, profitable, and forward-thinking business schemes to deal with the difficulties caused by confinement. Therefore, it is essential that public authorities and stakeholders, particularly senior managers, focus their attention on the promotion and development of these opportunities. |
