The risk of rising food prices is growing as higher diesel costs, disruptions to fertilizer supplies, and the effects of El Niño coincide. However, experts say it is still too early to speak of a full-scale global crisis or severe shortages. Supply bottlenecks through the Strait of Hormuz drove sulfur prices up by about 70% in September 2026 compared with January, while the average diesel price in the European Union rose 38% between late February and mid-September. Higher costs could reduce fertilizer use and the area planted, putting crops in coming seasons at risk. Experts recommend diversifying import sources, strengthening stockpiles, and securing energy and fertilizer supplies, alongside expanding the use of precision fertilization and solar-power technologies to lessen the impact of shocks.
