When the mainland gets stuck: How secure is Mallorca's supply?

Answer

Why are fresh fruit and vegetables in Mallorca more vulnerable than packaged goods?

Fresh produce depends on fast transport and short delivery windows, so it is usually the first category affected when logistics slow down. If routes are blocked on the mainland, perishable goods can arrive later or in smaller quantities, which may also push prices up. Packaged staples are generally easier to keep in stock because they last longer and are less sensitive to delays.
