Supply chain resilience plays an important role in risk management. It can affect the performance of companies greatly, especially during a disruption. The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a great impact on the world. In the food industry, this pandemic can disrupt the supply chain and the shortage arises. This paper analyzes the impact of this epidemic on the food industry and introduce the concept of supply chain resilience. Then, it uses empirical results from other researchers to highlight its significance and provide some strategies to enhance the resiliency of supply chains, which can be useful to companies in this industry such as food manufacturers and retailers during this tough period. Generally, it can be regarded as a combination of an abstract management concept and some real cases, which can prove the effectiveness of the application of this useful strategy in the risky environment.
