The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, including the importation of edible oils into Vietnam. Restrictions on international trade, logistical challenges, and reduced production capacities in exporting countries affected the availability and timely delivery of edible oils. This led to temporary shortages and supply chain disruptions in the market.
