With our large portfolio of international freight forwarding and logistics services, the U-Freight Group notes that the of ongoing geopolitical disruption in Bangladesh is adding to the disruption affecting global supply chains and international trade caused by numerous factors from climate change to IT meltdowns.
The country is an important market for many members of the U-Freight Group’s global network, both for ocean freight and air cargo, and we note many media reports that concur with our experience that Bangladesh’s supply chains are facing many difficulties at present as a result of the recent civil unrest, with factories having been shuttered for a few days, exports forced almost to a halt and Customs process all but suspended as shipments through seaports and airports are disrupted.
