Inditex SA, the world’s largest clothing retailer, said some deliveries in Spain may be delayed due to a week-long protest by truck drivers demanding lower fuel prices and better working conditions.
Inditex is warning clients who buy products on its Zara website that shipments could suffer delays because of the protest, which has already disrupted supply chains of industries ranging from dairy to car manufacturing and supermarket chains. Carrefour SA, one of the largest supermarket operators in Spain, put signs up in some stores to notify customers about shortages of some goods.
