Logistics is causing problems on purchase orders for Tilapia

Considering the delays presented in logistics between China and Colombia, one of the most important seafood importers in Colombia has decided to stop orders for Tilapia. Over the last 18-20 months, there have been delays of 4-6 months, consequently. Some companies had to buy the product from other importers at an extremely high premium price to keep the business going forward, even if sometimes that was huge losses. Normalization of logistics is key for this type of company to keep functioning in a profitable way.
