BRUSSELS, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Belgian discount supermarket
chain Colruyt COLR.BR said on Thursday three of its
distribution centres were blocked by protesting farmers, leading
to disruptions in supply chains.
Centres located in Ollignies, Ghislenghien and Halle in
central western Belgium, which supply Colruyt's Belgian shops
with dry food, water and drinks, and fresh and frozen products,
were no longer accessible.
"At the moment, stock is still available in our shops...
(but) it is inevitable that products will eventually be missing
from the shelves," Colruyt said in a statement.
