Agri Supply Chains: Risk Mitigation and Resilience Post-COVID

Given the unprecedented global supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to support global trade resilience. To shed light on this important subject, AustCham Korea is pleased to host a special webinar discussing 'Agri Supply Chains: Risk Mitigation and Resilience Post-COVID'.

Hosted at 12:30 pm KST on Tuesday, April 20th, the event will include a special presentation on the Australian Government's International Freight Assistance Mechanism (IFAM)​ presented by Marg Staib, Australian Government Freight Controller. Diving deeper into the export hurdles faced by Australian agri exporters, with a special focus on the Korean market, Robert McLeod, Product Manager Cold Chain Logistics - Oceania at A.P. Moller Maersk will give a presentation on navigating supply chain risks and building resilience. Julie Quinn, Senior Trade & Investment Commissioner, Austrade Korea & Mongolia, and AustCham Korea Board Member, will also provide some introductory remarks.

The two presentations will be followed by a moderated Q&A session, which will include pre-submitted and 'live' questions from the audience, and will be moderated by Rowan Petz, Executive Director at AustCham Korea.

Panellists will share:

• Overview of the International Foreign Assistance Mechanism (IFAM) and explore case-studies of key Australian agri exports, including fresh fruit, meat, seafood and wine
• Examine problems commonly faced by agri exporters and provide suggestions on risk mitigation strategies.
• Discuss the disruptions caused by COVID-19 and identify alternative supply chain channels to navigate this changing landscape
