Soap powder has been drawing attention among the products affected by imbalances in retail inventories at the time of high inflation and other factors that the sector faces this year, such as the standard operation of the Federal Revenue Service.
Disruption indicators on the shelves, which measure the lack of the product at the end for the consumer, show a worsening from 12.7% in February to 23.4% in March, according to monitoring by Neogrid, which follows the supply chain.
In Neogrid’s assessment, due to the lack of raw material for production in the industry due to the operation of the inspectors, the sale of the stock did not have the expected replacement.
Inflation is usually another aspect responsible for the stockout of products in supermarkets because it alters the negotiations between industry and retail.
