Comment: This is amusing news, the company allocates its inventory to sellers, and they lock in the volume/price sold for 1-5 years depending upon the size of the order and therefore there is not going be any impact on this years profits inspite of the curry version of the wuflu.

Edit Comment 22/07/21: Had a few emails/phone conversations about this. Thus I’m going to correct the comment. “The company does allocate its inventory/capacity to agents/sellers whom have a contract to fulfil a certain amount of volume annually. The price is determined by the company’s internal pricing mechanism which can change. In addition to this the company does have a fast-track business (no idea what % business this is), where they will sell on spot prices which are typically 15-20% above market. Now the agents can resell their allocation to other agents and create their own pricing above what the company sets, and profit themselves. And therefore the company MAY benefit from this recent situation due to the fast-track business segment. “
