For the resources for businesses on managing the manufacturing and the supply chain risk due to the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic, please consult the report COVID-19: Managing supply chain risk and disruption (Deloitte Canada, 2020), as well as the insights on COVID-19: How to fortify your supply chain (Kearney, 2020).
The World Economic Forum's COVID Action Platform provides useful information on the latest strategic trends regarding COVID-19 implications for businesses, including manufacturing and supply systems. The report Outbreak Readiness and Business Impact (World Economic Forum in collaboration with the Harvard Global Health Institute) offers insights on handling coronavirus by businesses and strategies for effective response and resilience.

According to the CIA, the GDP of Afghanistan was composed of: 24% of agriculture (employing 78,6% of the workforce), 21% of industry (employing 5,7% of the workforce), 55% of services (employing 15,7% of the workforce). According to the World Bank, the industrial employment relies essentially on domestic raw materials, mainly cotton, wool, hides and skins, and fruits. Substantial constraints to rapid development of the sector exist, most of which are linked to the country's income level and to its landlocked situation and mountainous terrain.
