Fertilizer Shortage Endangers Food Security
The fertilizer crisis resulting from disruptions in maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz poses a significant threat to global food security. Tensions have led to delays in the arrival of shipments and increased costs for agricultural inputs. The United Nations and the World Food Programme expect that if this crisis continues, millions of people could lose their food security, with agricultural and social productivity declining—especially in countries that depend on fertilizer imports. Warnings indicate that further disruption of shipments would exacerbate the global food crisis, with exports dropping by 9% in the first half of 2026, and a sharp decline in fertilizer carrier movements through the strait by over 90%.
