Hong Kong Food Commission Chairman Wu Yongen said in Hong Kong and Taiwan’s "Millennium" today (26) that the epidemic has caused inaccurate shipping schedules, high container prices, and shortage of manpower, which have further increased costs.
Wu Yongen pointed out that the supply of frozen chicken wings and other foods has been significantly reduced, and prices are expected to increase by 10% to 15%. As for rice, due to contractual constraints, it is believed that the price will not go up and down.
However, the global supply chain is expected to become clear after the epidemic is over.

He continued that internal factors also involve the rise in the price of RMB, so overall, the cost of incoming goods has increased.

As for the impact on food supplies to Hong Kong, he pointed out that the supply of frozen chicken wings and other foods has been significantly reduced. "The increase in cost will definitely be passed on to consumers." It is expected that the price will increase by 10% to 15%.
As for reports that rice also has an impact, he said that most of the rice in Hong Kong is supplied to Hong Kong from Vietnam, Thailand and other places. Although the cost has risen, because the two parties have signed a contract, "there will be no big ups and downs" and there is food in Hong Kong. Rice control and an appropriate storage period are believed to have little effect on the supply and price situation in Hong Kong.
He also pointed out that the current chaotic global supply chain is mainly related to the epidemic. It is currently unpredictable when it will stabilize. "We have to wait until the epidemic stops."
