Iran’s move to restrict shipping in the Strait of Hormuz could spark a global fertilizer crisis. Urea and ammonia, key components in nitrogen fertilizers, are predominantly exported from the Persian Gulf. This disruption risks raising food prices and jeopardizing global food security. Farms worldwide would face challenges if supplies are delayed or become too costly. India and Brazil rely heavily on Gulf imports. Without timely and affordable fertilizers, crop yields could drop dramatically, affecting food prices and potentially leading to social unrest.
