The obstruction of the Suez Canal in March has had some far reaching impacts in unexpected areas.
Dennis Fuentes runs the Toronto, mom-and-pop bubble tea shop Sweet Shady Shack with his wife, Elena. He says they weren’t aware that there was a tapioca pearl shortage in Canada until a customer brought it to their attention.
“Our preferred supplier encountered a delay in their tapioca supply shipment and that meant we had to order from a different supplier. Other than that, we haven’t had any difficulty procuring tapioca so far. But now, maybe we have to be wary,” Fuentes said.
