Welcome to the 2022 Frozen Food Report covering 2021, which proved to be a challenging year wherever you sit within the frozen food supply chain. Those members in the Food Service sector have had to suffer a year that started with much of the industry closed, although there was some relief as we moved into the Spring. However, as the year progressed, we saw huge issues with the supply of labour, which impacted supply of products and the availability of labour in end users. Then members were hit with the shortage of HGV drivers, followed by a “defacto” closedown as we neared year end. The market did see a recovery in value from 2020, but it remains significantly below pre-pandemic levels. However, as you will read the sector has shown amazing resilience against so many head winds.
