Iran war: Strait of Hormuz shutdown could spark food crisis
Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz is disrupting fertilizer exports from the Gulf, which accounts for a significant portion of global supplies, leading to price spikes of 10-30% and threatening crop yields in import-dependent regions like India and Brazil. Combined with high oil prices, the conflict risks exacerbating global food inflation and shortages, particularly affecting poorer nations.
