Indian exporters are keeping their fingers crossed amid the outbreak of Monkeypox in Africa, as the continent is a crucial region for domestic exports.

According to exporters, the spread of the disease is contained in certain countries, it would be a challenge, if it spreads to more nations. “As of now, the spread is not rampant, but looking into the infection, the exporters are definitely concerned, hoping it will not spread,” Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) Director General Ajay Sahai said.

Another exporter said that so far, there is no lockdown-like situation in the continent, and therefore, no payment delays are happening.
