Meat cargoes bound for Gulf stranded as conflict hits Eid trade

The decline in meat shipments during a critical trading time like Eid underscores the fragility of supply chains in conflict-affected regions. The soaring transport costs not only affect profitability for exporters but also threaten food security in the Gulf, where demand for meat is traditionally high during festive seasons. This situation may lead to increased prices for consumers and could prompt a reevaluation of sourcing strategies by importers.
