The ongoing port strike could lead to price increases on various grocery items such as bananas, mangoes, sugar, beer, and more, as per Scott Moses from Solomon Partners. While stores have stockpiled some goods, perishable items may need to be airlifted, further raising costs. With rerouting cargo to non-strike ports and trucked supplies from Central America, the situation could become significantly more expensive for consumers if the strike continues for an extended period, prompting shoppers to compare prices across different grocery stores.
