What 2026 holds for African supply chainsAs 2026 gets underway, it’s clear that supply chain uncertainty is not going anywhere this year. But while there has been no respite from geopolitical tensions and shifting trade dynamics, the supply chain conversation is changing tone, says southern African supply chain industry body SAPICS. For African and South African supply chains in particular, this transition brings both challenges and opportunities, SAPICS asserts. International research, including the United Stated-based Association for Supply Chain Management’s (ASCM’s) 2026 supply chain trends report, points to a supply chain future shaped by intelligent, resilient and data-driven operations. SAPICS notes that for African supply chains, climate resilience is not abstract.
