A recent port strike on the East Coast could lead to a significant shortage of bananas in American grocery stores. The strike, which affects 36 ports from Maine to Texas, has disrupted the supply chain for bananas, a vital fruit in the U.S. with 75% of imports arriving via these ports. Experts warn that if the labor dispute continues for more than two weeks, consumers may face limited availability or higher prices for this staple fruit, as fresh produce like bananas cannot be stockpiled like non-perishable goods.
