The Great Lockdown is the most severe recession since the Great Depression and agri-food supply chains have faced significant disruptions. The financial health of agribusinesses, farm operations and food processors is tied to the global economic rebound. Interest rates, currencies, disposable income, transportation and trade are the relevant variables to monitor. Learn about the most recent forecasts as well as the risk assessments relative to the current economic environment.
