Low inventory is a result of just in time, which was a result of cheaper oil.

Industries will have to reorganize their activities with the eyes on the energy costs.

We produce orange juice. Remove the water. Freeze it, put into stainless steel tanks and ship it like crude. Therefore we save by not having to ship the water and the Tetra pack packing volumes and weights. At the destination water is added packed and sold to supermarkets.

High value low volume electronics goods still be air freighted inside Eva Air. I Use to fly them from Jakarta to San Francisco. A Jumbo jet half passenger half cargo.
But the kind of production sharing inaugurated by the Chinese is in for some big fine tuning.

When I was in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, my friend Chinese-Indonesian, use to make Denim.
