Incidentally, the Chinese New Year 2010 starts on Valentine’s Day. The latter is an annual (and predictable!) peak in flower and chocolate demand, the former a source of disruption in any shipment that goes through ports where the Chinese New Year is celebrated (as to say, also Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia… and for a notable 15 days). Already now, there are uncountable vessels stationed out of the port of Singapore, waiting to be attended. Logistics service providers moan about long lead times and supply chains getting longer. Then again, isn’t this another of those events that are predictably occurring every year?
Gyöngyi
Happy Year of the Tiger, everyone!
