SAO PAULO (From news reports) -- Supply chain disruptions due to new tariffs could soon result in a shortage of toilet paper, warns Brazilian pulp exporter Suzano SA, according to a Bloomberg news report.
The company is the world's largest exporter of pulp, an important ingredient in the manufacture of toilet paper.
But its leadership says that in April it had a 20% drop in shipments to the U.S., and also told Bloomberg that additional costs will be passed on to American consumers.
The warning may strike fear in Americans who five years ago experienced empty supermarket shelves in the toilet paper aisle - the start of a series of product shortages during the pandemic.
