Around the world, there is a massive supply chain shortage. Grocery stores are having trouble stocking up on items, because of many reasons, including power outages across China, shortages of truck drivers and service workers, and restrictions due to Covid-19. Some of the items affected are:
-
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, because of labor shortages
-
Carbonated drinks, because fertilizer plants had to reduce their output.
-
Chicken, because many people ate home-cooked chicken during the pandemic, causing suppliers to reduce their output.
-
Toilet paper, because suppliers are not making as much anymore
-
Diapers, for many reasons
