West Asia Tensions Test India's Poultry Air Cargo Supply Chain
Geopolitical instability in West Asia is severely disrupting traditional sea freight routes, impacting Indian exporters. Consequently, India's poultry industry is increasingly shifting to air cargo to bypass maritime delays and maintain supplies to the region. This pivot primarily affects time-sensitive products like hatching eggs and day-old chicks destined for markets such as the UAE, Oman, and Qatar. While using air freight ensures supply chain continuity for these perishable goods, it also introduces the significant challenge of higher logistics costs for producers. The situation highlights the critical role and resilience of air cargo in sustaining global trade during regional conflicts.
