Kuwait secures sheep supplies amid Middle East shipping disruptions
Kuwait's Livestock Transport & Trading Company (K.S.C) has launched an emergency plan to keep sheep supplies stable. The move comes as maritime shipping routes face growing disruptions in the region.
The company is now shifting imports to land and air transport to avoid delays.
The decision follows broader shipping challenges in the Middle East. While recent attacks have targeted container and oil vessels, livestock transport has so far remained unaffected. Still, K.S.C is taking precautions to prevent potential shortages.
An emergency strategy has been activated to secure sheep for the local market. The company aims to maintain food security by rerouting shipments through alternative channels. No direct impact on Kuwait's live sheep supply has been reported yet, despite Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz in March 2026.
K.S.C's adjustments ensure that sheep imports continue without major interruptions. By using land and air routes, the company is working to keep supplies steady. The measures reflect a proactive approach to regional shipping risks.
