Gulf Food Prices Soar as Air Cargo Disruptions Squeeze Supply Chains
Ongoing disruptions in Red Sea shipping are forcing a significant shift from sea to air freight for goods destined for the Gulf. This surge in demand is placing immense pressure on air cargo capacity, leading to higher transportation costs. Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which are heavily reliant on food imports, are particularly vulnerable to these logistical challenges. The price of perishable goods, including fresh produce and meat, is rising as a direct result of these increased freight rates. Consequently, consumers across the region are facing mounting food price pressures driven by the strained aviation supply chain.
