Post COVID-19 Impact on Middle East Africa Functional Mushroom Powder Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has highly disrupted the supply chain of raw materials, that is, functional mushrooms used to manufacture functional mushroom powder, and the disturbance in the supply chain of the end-user industries of functional mushrooms. It was attributed to the lack of resources and transportation, which led to lower access, delayed stock, and supplies of raw materials products. Additionally, many governments restricted the movement of goods across the countries, and the entire supply chain was distorted. Due to the disrupted supply chain, transportation of raw materials has been interrupted, stalling production. Similarly, inflated prices and a halt on functional mushroom powder production have resulted in the unmet demands for functional mushroom powder in various end-users such as food, beverages, cosmetic and medicinal, and other industries.
Recent Development
