Most of us never give a second thought to where our food or other merchandise comes from. We just throw the items into our carts and go about our way. The reality is, there’s a complex web driving those products. From finished goods to raw materials, our items come from all over the globe. This supply chain operates in a delicate balance. So, when something interrupts that balance it can wreak havoc on the global economy.
And we are getting just that with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thanks to the lockdowns and spread of the coronavirus, the world’s supply chain is suffering. Food, finished goods and raw materials aren’t being shipped to their intended destinations. This is putting pressure on manufacturers, retailers and other stakeholders. The worst part for investors is that it could start hitting dividends.
