Total misunderstanding, I hear that a lot these days. Since the demand for Chartreuse exploded in the 2010s, they say they will not increase supply. They will produce the same amount and will not sacrifice their monastic duties and lives for a higher demand. that is why prices are rising or Chartreuse is not available in your region. I stocked up big time when I was in France last year. its a 150% price increase since then but still available.
