The problem is also with the industry itself, particularly if it's perishable. If this continues much longer, there's going to be a point (and perhaps it's already there? We don't get numbers about capacity - though I'd love to see it if there are numbers available!) where these companies reach peak capacity, and would have to incur significant investments in order to scale: investments that would become a detriment once the market comes back to normal, particularly if everyone has a glut of stored supply by the time this has ended.
