(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 10 - The continuity of the food and beverage sector risks no longer being guaranteed without the immediate opening of other functional chains, such as that of industrial agricultural machinery and components. Lofa know the managing director of the Italian supply chain, Luigi Scordamaglia, about the extension of the lockdown measures until May 3.
"We cannot but have a date from which to plan the recovery of the entire Italian manufacturing sector," explains Scordamaglia. Analyzing the trend of contagions in open supply chains, from agri-food to pharmaceuticals to energy, Filiera Italia notes how worker protection measures and the protocol underwritten between social partners work, combining protection with production. "We have to do as Germany and France do and plan openings not on the basis of codes but on the ability to transversely implement security protocols". Therefore, for the Italian Supply Chain, the joint committee of scientific and production representatives to establish the rules and the stakes of the progressive recovery is welcome. "If the desire for a progressive reopening of our country's economic activities is not cleared up - specifies Scordamaglia - it will not be possible to convince Europe of forms of debt reduction". And speaking of relaunch, according to Filiera Italia, it is also necessary to begin to envisage a progressive opening of the out-of-home food service channel which accounts for 80 billion of food consumption. A solution would be the opening for takeaway through innovative forms of orders and takeaways managed with special apps. (HANDLE).
