New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed concerns about a potential strike by 45,000 longshoremen, which could leave 100,000 full cargo containers idle, endangering banana supplies.
During a press conference, Kathy Hochul warned, 'I do not want to be in a position to say, yes, we have no bananas, but we could get to that point.'
Hochul reassured that New York's overall food security would not be affected and highlighted that most of the state's food supply is transported by truck and rail.
Amidst the potential banana shortages, Hochul promoted New York state apples, stating, 'We may have more apples...they're very juicy and wonderful.'
