A group of rebels has declared a sweeping maritime embargo targeting the kingdom’s key exports, disrupting global supply chains and prompting the world’s largest exporter to scale back production. The blockade, enforced since July, has intensified pressure on the economy by restricting shipments critical to international trade.

Authorities are now assessing the long-term impact on both domestic output and global markets.
