Lack of raw materials threatening Portuguese industry By TPN/Lusa, in Business · 16-07-2021 01:00:00 · 0 Comments
The scarcity and high cost of raw materials and maritime transport is proving to be a serious problem for industrial activity across the board leading to delays in orders and lay-offs in some cases.
According to the conclusions of the June monthly survey of the Portuguese Business Association (AEP), carried out with 300 associates to “evaluate the main obstacles to the recovery of business activity”. The unavailability of raw materials and intermediate products and the difficulties in commercial circuits, due to the lack of containers, are the “new problems” pointed out by Portuguese companies, together with the “new reality” in the organisation of work in the post-pandemic period.
