Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Global supply chains and energy security are facing significant pressure due to geopolitical risks in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war, and disruptions in major shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Initial reports indicated that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz affected up to 14% of the global oil and gas supply. In response to these risks, Türkiye has engaged in agricultural diplomacy, securing agreements with Russia to ensure no restrictions on fertilizer shipments for the year. As tensions persist, crude oil prices have moved toward or above $90 per barrel. Regional authorities in Thailand and Taiwan have implemented stability measures. Thailand is utilizing existing petroleum reserves to manage falling domestic production and high fuel costs, while Taiwan’s CPC Corporation is diversifying procurement sources across the Americas, West Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region to mitigate risks from Middle East conflicts and Red Sea shipping crises. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-13: Energy security measures implemented in Thailand and Taiwan amid Middle East tensions Amid rising Middle East tensions and shipping disruptions, Thailand and Taiwan are securing energy supplies through increased reserves, diversified procurement, and strategic inventory management. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/energy-security-measures-implemented-in-thailand-and-taiwan-amid-middle-east-tensions ### 2026-09-26: Global supply chains face energy and food security risks Geopolitical tensions and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are impacting global energy and food supplies, prompting Türkiye to engage in active agricultural diplomacy to secure supply chains. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/global-supply-chains-face-energy-and-food-security-risks --- Cite as: Global energy and supply chain security risks.
