In 2022, the baking industry continues to face formidable and ongoing challenges related to the supply chain, workforce development, and an inflationary economy—all compounded by complications introduced by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“In a year that ended up being just as—if not more—crazy than the previous one, the American Bakers Association again was honored to work hand in hand with our members to take on some seemingly insurmountable challenges with the supply chain, critical worker shortages, and more—all amid the ongoing pandemic,” says Robb MacKie, president and CEO, American Bakers Association (ABA), Washington, D.C.
