Supply Chain Resources
Share this page:
Overview
Many of the products we purchase are based upon a complex supply chain, with various services and materials required to bring everyday goods to our shelves. Like other industries, America’s pet food makers have experienced major supply chain disruption that began during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that the shopping experience may be different for pet owners looking for their preferred product. The Pet Food Institute (PFI) is dedicated to helping find policy solutions to ease supply chain pressures and provide practical support for pet food makers.
