Sudan to Shanghai: The Fragility of Pharma Trade Routes

The assumption that conflict in one region won't affect another is no longer valid. Civil unrest in Sudan has revealed the interlinked nature of pharma trade. From API sourcing to regional distribution hubs, the ripple effects are global.
Sudan’s disruption cascades through Kenya and Ethiopia, delaying transport to the UAE—a key stop in many pharma lanes to India and Southeast Asia. These chokepoints don't just delay shipments—they elevate costs, increase spoilage risks, and require unplanned warehousing. Now is the time for pharma logistics professionals to embrace dynamic mapping tools and cross-border collaboration to ensure continuity.
