The agri-food sector has recently faced a great challenge due to the health crisis linked to COVID-19, suffering an impact at different levels. In particular, the pandemic had a significant impact on the distribution channels, which some of them were indeed lost during the lockdown period, as happened with the Horeca channel, implying in the same way the need for a rebalancing of supply to adapt to change in demand.
