Exactly.
I distinctly remember how several years ago Mexico manufactured Tequila shortage by claiming that disastrous weather led to a shortage of agave fruit. At least this was a story given by Canadian liquor stores to questions why Tequila prices were hiked by close to 50% almost overnight. I kid you not. They also issued assurances that once this pesky Mexican weather normalizes the prices will go back to normal. You guessed it - they never did.
