Mr. Jing owns two factories in Shanghai that produce packaging materials for skincare and cosmetics. After the lockdown, he has been operating under closed production. Now, his problem is that around ten million units of goods are stuck in the warehouse, unable to be shipped. Mr. Wang is a Wagyu beef importer. He has four raw material warehouses in Shanghai, holding nearly ten tons of beef and steaks. Ms. Zhao is a supplier of coffee beans. Currently, she has five containers stranded at Yangshan Port in Shanghai, along with a batch of urgently needed beans stuck at Pudong Airport.
For many companies and enterprises, aside from resuming work, the biggest challenge remains logistics: ports and highways. Beyond demurrage fees, the hardest part is obtaining a travel permit.
