Lower prices elsewhere in the world seem not to have lead to shortages. Maybe a sudden surge of consumption due to greater availability will be a regression for the rich people that could previously buy as much as they wanted, but it will be a life-saver for countless others. Supply ought to pick up so long as the price is above production cost, and that's if there is a shock in the first place. Producers can anticipate if this is announced ahead of time.
