Cargo containers are an oft-forgotten link in our supply chain. These containers are being loaded onto ships waiting in port.
In the seed processing plant at Bidasem, a series of machines clean and sort seed. The first step in processing is the “Clipper” seed cleaner (left), which separates the seed out from detritus such as chaff or pieces of cob. Maize seed is then sorted by passing it through grading machines (right) that use perforated cylinders to differentiate the seed by size and separate it into round and flat types. This is necessary to ensure smooth planting, as the seeders used by farmers have discs that are designed to let through only certain sizes of seed.
Bidasem is a small seed company based in the city of Celaya in the central Mexican plains region known as the Bajío. It produces maize, wheat and oat seed, as well as marketing seed of other crops. Despite their small size, Bidasem and similar companies play an important role in reaching small farmers with improved seed that offers them better livelihoods. “Our aim is to provide farmers with quality seed at accessible prices, that is adapted to the conditions we have here in the Bajío, says director general María Esther Rivas. It’s a great satisfaction, when farmers achieve the yields they need.”

Commercial truck drivers play an important role in maintaining our supply chain and ensuring people in every part of the province continue to have access to the items they need, including food and medicine. It’s crucial that commercial drivers have the safe and clean facilities they need to maintain the movement of goods, and that’s why portable toilets are being added to key stops for truck drivers throughout B.C.

Exploring the theme 'society beyond borders'
Probably once or twice per week during most seasons in the year a big deliver truck resupplies this retail location with a variety of convenience store staples: make-up and personal care items, cellphones and related merchandise and services, snacks to eat or drink are nearest the front checkout counter since they are most frequently bought. Putting frequent items nearest the cash register meets the definition of 'convenience' store. Without an inventory and manifest of shipment origin it is impossible to know, but many of the products travel across the ocean from China and the Southeast Asia nations. Once the shipping containers reach the west coast port and wait their turn to pass through inspection and unloading, then the steel rectangular containers can go onto truck bodies or flat-cars of railroads to travel to their customer distribution warehouse for packaging customized to each retail location's particular requests.
This photo shows the end of that long supply chain when requested materials leave the delivery truck and sit in the back of the store for the clerks to restock the shelves for the stream of shoppers. The boxes and bins that protect the shiny wrapping of the products quickly fills the dumpster for landfill storage. Cardboard is one of the most marketable recycled material, so that is segregated from the waste stream for collection separately.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the many shoppers confined to their homes began to rely on purchases made online more and more. The surge in demand led to some supply chain strains. And when the workers who form the links of that chain were themselves infected and quarantined, the manufacture, transportation, and even retail staffing made the challenge of keeping shelves stocked very difficult, indeed. Now almost 24 months from the public recognition of the virus wildly spreading at the end of 2019, much of the gaps and gluts in supply and its chain of delivery have mean smoothed out, although staff always seem to be in short supply themselves.
