During the first phase of the COVID-19 outbreak, when the world faced an unprecedented crisis and disruption to the food supply chain, a multinational corporation in the packaged food space needed to understand the dynamics in the rice market and the impact of the pandemic on future supply and prices through the supply chain.
Dialectica’s seasoned Client Service team were able to connect the corporation with experts that had proven multi-year experience in the largest rice supplier companies globally. The client conducted 5 interviews and received detailed insights on the 2020 planting season in South Asia and the estimated volumes of 2019 harvested rice. The interviews included a variety of information and additional custom input from key experts that enabled our client to better develop an appropriate strategy in order to prepare for and tackle any issues that would be created due to the pandemic.
