Dubai may have just ten days of fresh food supplies left, as the ongoing conflict in West Asia disrupts key shipping lanes and air cargo routes, a top logistics executive has warned.
Stefan Paul, CEO of global logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel, told Swiss broadcaster SRF on Thursday that the estimate is based on supply chain data monitored by his company.
The warning shows how the escalating war involving the United States, Israel and Iran is affecting global logistics chains and threatening food supplies in the Gulf states, where majority of them rely heavily on imports.
“In Dubai, for example, fresh products will last only about ten days," Paul the broadcaster.
He pointed out that air freight serving the Middle East has fallen 22 percent since February 28, while the disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and partial suspension of Jebel Ali port, a key hub for perishable imports, have worsened the situation.
