02 FEB22-> "A shortage of cargo space on flights will prevent the export of 2,500 tons of Ecuadorian flowers for Valentine's Day. A long line of trucks carrying flowers sits outside the cargo agencies in Quito.
The National Association of Producers and Exporters of Flowers of Ecuador (Expoflores) pointed out that, due to the logistical bottleneck, some 2,500 tons of flowers could not be exported for that holiday.
That is, about 70 flights less. Alejandro Martínez, executive president of Expoflores, explained that the trucks that transport the product wait between 26 and 38 hours to ship. Valentine's Day represents 30% of the annual sales of the sector....." -
comments:
"The weather recently in the U.S. isn't helping with flights. That is part of the logistical bottleneck. Many are being cancelled due to ice, snow, high winds, and flight crews unable to make it through weather delays to their next flight."
"Even if they can fly them out of Ecuador I don't think there will be any trucks at the other end to deliver them to their destinations. The truckers Freedom Convoy it't starting everywhere, not only Canada! That could be the reason they are told there is a shortage of cargo space on flights."
Comments:
"They usually use cargo planes. The problem is that there are shortages of things around the world due to transportation bottlenecks. There are not enough shipping containers to transport goods on cargo ships. There is a shortage of electronic chips which could hurt the auto industry. Supply is not keeping pace with demand."
"We too are exporters, and due to higher freight costs, we have stopped exports indefinitely. We are expecting this year too of supply chain issues like 2021." -
