Impact of Geopolitical Conflicts on Supply Chains

Geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Red Sea, are significantly disrupting global supply chains and contributing to inflation. The need to reroute cargo due to these conflicts causes delays and increases demand for shipping vessels, thereby reducing supply in the market. This shift necessitates flexibility in contract negotiations, as established shipping patterns and expectations are upended. Adjustments must be made to accommodate new routes and changing commodity availability, which impacts overall procurement strategies.
