Constant return to scale with an upward-sloping supply curve

Can there be constant returns to scale in an industry along with an upward-sloping supply curve?  Describe.

Constant returns to scale imply that proportional raise in all inputs yield the similar proportional increase in output. Proportional raise in inputs can induce higher prices if the supply curves for these inputs are upward sloping.  Thus, constant returns to scale does not for eternity imply long-run horizontal supply curves.
