Renewed shipping disruptions, including port congestion and refrigerated container shortages, are complicating ingredient supply chains. Weather-related issues like drought impacting the Panama Canal further exacerbate delays and costs, affecting global ingredient trading, especially dairy, meat, and frozen goods.

BTG Suggestion

Enhance your logistics planning. Build extra lead times into orders, explore alternative shipping routes, and secure shipping contracts to ensure capacity. Maintaining open communication with logistics partners can reduce risks from current disruptions.
