For large scale F&B manufacturers like Etika, which is Malaysia’s largest halal beverage manufacturing company,  the Movement Control Order has affected critical supply chains from functioning effectively. The company has been working to ensure that supermarket shelves are always well stocked while also working with a 50% capacity. Plus, they need to maintain social distancing protocols at work. This basically means they’ve had to take a closer look at their existing supply chains while setting new transport and logistics related protocols - all within a matter of hours after the MCO was announced.

To expand on this, we got in touch with Khalid Alvi, CEO of Etika, to weigh in on how they’re keeping the supply chain steady, while also keeping employees happy and doing their part for the community.
