International logistical and commodity supply issues are posing major problems for local businesses, with some items hard to source.
This has been confirmed by President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Anthony Branker, who tells Starcom Network News that both food and hardware supplies are being affected.
He says stockpiling has helped keep items in stock but warns that prices from suppliers continue to increase due to escalating oil prices and shipping costs.
Managing Director of Carters General Stores, Michael Edwards, confirms that several hardware items are increasingly hard to source, including lumber.
