Before the COVID-19 pandemic very few of us gave any thought to the global supply chain.
Our first indication that something had gone wrong was the rapid increase in the price of consumer goods. Our supermarket bills started a steep climb and items that we do not purchase as frequently started to show significant price increases or were not available at all.
The nation as a whole seemed unconscious of the fact that by far the larger percentage of our raw materials and goods are imported; and that includes fuel for electricity and transportation. We are in no way self-sufficient and we are highly dependent on external resources.
