Container congestion at Westports in Port Klang has led to delivery delays and unnecessary costs for the past month, claimed several wholesalers and retailers.

They said the delay caused imported onions to have sprouted and therefore could no longer be sold. Seasonal goods, meant for the winter solstice festival on Monday (Dec 21), are now still stranded at the port.

Frespro Sdn Bhd business development manager Andrew Tay said the congestion problem has persisted for about a month.

Usually, goods can be collected at the port and delivered to their final destination within two days, Tay said.

Meanwhile, Mydin Malaysia managing director Ameer Ali Mydin estimated that vegetable prices may increase by 20 percent if the port congestion leads to a supply shortage.
