    limitations

    While all equipment and items of the bakeries that are located outside of Sana’a are delivered from Sana’a (the high quality and the availability is only in Sana’a) the following challenges and risks might be encountered:

      • Are exposed to the risk of highway robbery.
      • Difficulties of using highway roads that are not maintained.
      • Delivering the goods from Sana’a costs more.
      • Delivering the goods through a company is recommended to deliver the goods securely.
      • The continuous increase in prices of goods and foodstuff while the value of the USD is going down.
      • There is a huge crisis in the availability of fuel as the petrol and cooking gas are mostly not available in the market with official prices, and scarcely available in black market with high prices.
