In 2020, there was an outbreak of a virus which affected Banana plantations across the country even abroad. This virus prevents the Banana from producing Banana Blossom which would eventually lead to the death of the Banana. Because of this virus, the supply of Bananas needed by BBQ for the production of their products declined massively. According to the purchasing manager, BBQ could only get a hold of 100,000 kilos of Bananas. Despite the decrease in supply, the prices of banana in the market remained at50 per kilo. Due to fear of contracting the Banana Virus, the demand for Banana-based products also declined. Based on the recently conducted market research, the demand for each product is only 50,000 units.
