Supply Chain Status of Goods
The Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade continued: "Fortunately, we have not observed any significant impact on the supply chain that would require us to enter another phase of actions." He also pointed out the importance of goods that have the most impact on livelihood and employment, stating that alternative corridors have also been considered for these goods.
Shojaei, referring to the possibility of intensified sanctions and their impact on the supply chain, noted: "Naturally, intensified sanctions will be impactful, and to say that there is no effect is not correct; however, we are trying to reduce their effects." These statements come at a time when concerns about potential crises in supplying essential goods have increased.
Future Outlook
Given the challenges ahead, the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade is working to ensure that the supply chain of essential and vital goods is continuously maintained by creating these alternative corridors. This action could help strengthen the country's economy and reduce the damages caused by sanctions, ultimately securing the food and livelihood of the people.
