Britons could face black tea shortage due to Houthi attacks in Red Sea

️ Britons could face black tea shortage due to Houthi attacks in Red Sea Trade ships are now forced to bypass the insecure Suez Canal via the Cape of Good Hope to avoid Houthi attacks, causing delivery delays of up to 14 days and rising costs, The Times reports. Local chain stores warned customers about the first interruptions in tea supplies. As company representatives note, the disruptions will be temporary. However, experts say the shortage will lead to price inflation, rising prices and reducing the availability of a range of goods. At the same time, no measures in the near future will be able to solve the problems caused; they will continue for many months, experts predict. Источник: Global News (EU, USA)
