Weather-related disruptions are highlighting the importance of resilient logistics networks for food-grade chemical distribution.
Prolonged geopolitical disruption is increasing the likelihood of force majeure declarations across energy and chemical supply chains. Procurement and legal teams should review contracts, supplier obligations and contingency plans before disruptions escalate.
