Can the retail industry's shift towards health and sustainability alter supply chain dynamics? We explore this question as we dissect the latest trends shaping global supply chains, from Boeing's resolution of its strike and its promising future, to the quiet yet profound changes in consumer preferences. Discover how food retailers are navigating these new waters by emphasizing health benefits and sustainability in their strategies. Plus, hear about cocoa farmers in Ghana holding their beans for higher prices, and how this is rippling through the global cocoa market.
We'll also tackle the potential upheaval in global trade strategies with the anticipated changes in U.S. trade policies under the Trump administration. Dive into discussions about reshoring manufacturing, potential tariff increases, and how these shifts might reverberate through economies like the UK. Local news doesn’t escape our radar as we touch on Sunday trading laws in the Outer Hebrides, alongside updates on the grocery wars between Sainsbury's and Aldi, and sustainability in the dairy industry. And don't miss out on the market buzz surrounding Tesla's stock surge, with insights into how influential figures like Elon Musk are shaping broader geopolitical narratives. Join us for a comprehensive look at these pressing issues.

The latest edition is published in 2024 available from Routledge, Amazon and all good book stores. Each week we have special episodes on particular topics relating to supply chains. We have a weekly news round up every Saturday at 12 noon...
