Supply chain radar: Beware horsemen two, three & four of the (logistics) apocalypse
It’s really not a matter of if, but when
The political crisis engulfing Bolivia is beginning to have a major impact on supply chains serving the country.
According to the government, anti-government protests, which began on 20 October, have caused the country to lose US$167m through “impeded commerce and looting”.
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.
