The truck drivers are having to increase their capacity and they also are changing how they deliver products.
Instead of going to the retailer's distribution center, some of them are going straight to the stores themselves or others are going from the plant to the retailer's distribution center and they're skipping the...
manufacturers' warehouses.
So there are links in the supply chain that are being cut out to serve, but still there are long lines of trucks waiting to unload.
The food makers are focused on ramping up production in any way they can.
And for some companies like General Mills, they have been able to make more products by cutting out the extensive varieties.
So instead of making 10 types of Progresso chicken noodle soup, they would make one or two types of Progresso chicken noodle soup.
So that can be different flavors and varieties, but they are reducing the different kinds because
Every time they change a recipe or change a size, they have to change over the production lines, and that's time that they don't have.
Yes, there has been some concern that people will stock up their pantries now.
And then if they are allowed to go out in the public and eat at restaurants again, the canned soup and boxes of mac and cheese will just sit on the shelves uneaten.
And that'll mean they won't need to buy as much in the coming months.
So they want to ramp up production, but they don't want to overshoot it.
And if we are able to leave our homes sooner than expected, then they'd have this excess.
Thank you.

Grocery stores have started to invest a lot of money in data and software
that they are working with third-party providers to use to really elevate the science that's behind the shelf wars at the grocery store.
Yeah, the biggest brands really used to draw customers into stores.
