Supply chain radar: Beware horsemen two, three & four of the (logistics) apocalypse

Some $16m of this is “attributable to shipping difficulties and production halts in Cochabamba, Bolivia’s agricultural and industrial hub, home to considerable assets in the country’s chemical, automotive, technological and raw materials industries”, according to DHL’s supply chain risk consultancy, Resilience360.
