Trinidad and Tobago's chicken supply chain is facing temporary disruptions due to extreme heat in the US affecting imported hatch eggs, local high temperatures impacting chicken growth, and erratic sea freight schedules delaying supplies, causing shortages in supermarkets during peak demand periods.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face immediate risks from international shipping delays and climate effects on key inputs like hatch eggs, meaning you must diversify suppliers or stockpile to maintain continuous chicken supply during peak demand.
