Turnover, tariffs and trend-shifts: Building strategic resilience in the food supply chain
Supply chains are being tested like never before. With a 53% turnover rate in warehousing and transportation, labor volatility has shifted from a temporary hurdle to a structural crisis. Add the pressure of shifting tariffs—projected to raise food prices by 2.6% overall and seafood costs by up to 30%—and the margin squeeze is unavoidable.
The problem? These challenges don’t exist in isolation. Workforce shortages cause bottlenecks, tariffs amplify costs, and evolving consumer demands further complicate operations.
This paper reveals how supply chain leaders can build resilience through:
Smarter workforce structures that reduce the impact of turnover
Strategies to mitigate tariff uncertainty and protect margins
Meeting consumer demands without driving up cost
Packaging optimization and automation readiness to create cascading efficiencies
