Food economists say changing consumer habits and potential coronavirus outbreaks in processing plants may affect food supplies. Here are the foods you might see less of in grocery stores.

• The coronavirus pandemic has and will continue to disrupt food supply chains as workers across the industry face potential infection.
• Miguel Gomez, professor of agricultural economics at Cornell University, and Carolyn Dimitri, associate professor of nutrition and food studies at NYU, identified ways food supply chains may be affected.
• Foods that require longer processing times or that are produced in crowded facilities are likely to experience supply disruptions.
• As a result, shoppers might have reduced access to foods such as pork, chicken, certain fresh produce, and some imported products, like cheese.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact both supply and demand chains, consumers are likely to see changes to their grocery store shelves.

Changes will come as producers may no longer to be able to process foods as quickly, and as consumer spending habits change, shoppers will be less likely to buy certain foods, thus affecting their future supply.

Carolyn Dimitri, associate professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University, said that although changes may be hard to predict, potential coronavirus outbreaks could lead to problems in the supply chain.

"Because agriculture is so labor dependent, if you end up having a huge outbreak during the planting season or the harvest season (and it's kind of hard to predict when that will happen) it will disrupt the ability of people to work either on the farm or in the processing facilities, and there will continually be problems," she told Business Insider.
