Global Fertilizer Crisis Looms as Iran War Disrupts Supplies
Farmers worldwide face a severe fertilizer shortage due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, threatening food prices and agricultural productivity. The war has disrupted vital shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global fertilizer trade and driving up costs.
The blockade has restricted around 30% of urea supplies, crucial for crop yields, with countries like Ethiopia heavily affected. Experts warn that without timely fertilizer, yields will plummet, leading to higher food prices. As planting seasons approach, the situation could worsen, prompting calls for government intervention and subsidies.
