Shortage of aluminum and glass in Fiji due to closed shipping ports in China

By Navitalai Naivalurua

Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation CEO Kameli Batiweti says businesses are already facing a shortage of aluminum and glass in the country due to shipping ports closed in China after the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak.

Batiweti says the aluminum products and glass are not being supplied by China.

He says they are expecting this to continue for about 6 to 9 months.
