Exporters in Bikaner are facing severe disruptions to their businesses as the conflict in West Asia impacts the flow of goods. The city’s snack exports, including bhujia, papad, and spices, are experiencing significant delays and rising costs, creating challenges for the local economy.
According to exporters, freight charges have increased, and there are shortages of containers, leading to longer transit times for both incoming raw materials and outgoing consignments. This disruption is particularly concerning as it hampers preparations for the peak export season.
The rising costs and logistical hurdles threaten Bikaner’s export-driven economy, which relies heavily on the timely and efficient movement of goods. The situation demands attention to mitigate the adverse effects on local businesses and maintain the region’s economic stability.
