Egypt: Red Sea Disruptions Challenge Egyptian Citrus Exports
Attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen on commercial vessels have resulted in many shipping companies rerouting away from two of the world's busiest shipping routes — the Red Sea and Suez Canal. The risks posed by these attacks (primarily in the Bab al-Mandab corridor) have disrupted global trade and the supply chain, including Egyptian citrus exports. Given the challenges of accessing certain key markets, primarily in Asia, FAS/Cairo is amending its forecast for Egyptian orange exports for marketing year 2023/2024 (October to September) – reducing the forecast by 250,000 metric tons (to 1.75 million metric tons).
