The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The food & beverage industry is one of the leading industries, suffering severe disruptions, such as supply chain breaks and shutdowns of production plants due to the pandemic. During the initial days of the pandemic, various companies had announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America have been affecting business collaborations and partnership opportunities.

All these factors are anticipated to negatively affect the food & beverage industry, thereby acting as a restraining factor for the growth of various markets related to this industry, including the global vanilla market.
