The US-Israeli war on Iran has triggered a global fertiliser shortage, threatening food production and prices worldwide. The conflict has disrupted the supply chain, causing fertiliser prices to surge and leaving millions facing hunger and starvation.
The US-Israeli war on Iran has sparked a global fertiliser crisis. The Gulf region, specifically the Strait of Hormuz, is a critical area for fertiliser production. The conflict has disrupted the supply chain, with ships carrying fertiliser unable to pass through the Strait. This has led to a shortage of fertiliser, causing prices to soar. The crisis has hit during the spring planting season, making it difficult for farmers to access the fertiliser they need. As a result, global urea prices have surged by 60%, with devastating impacts expected in the developing world.
