For Paul M. Müller's product range, product groups such as tuna, anchovies, pineapple and vegetable corn could be particularly affected by fluctuating availability and rising prices. If the weather phenomenon continues to worsen, other product groups could also come under pressure.

For purchasing and supply chains, it is becoming increasingly clear that weather phenomena are on the rise and are becoming a relevant risk factor for availability, planning and procurement.
