Could this ‘war’ lead to mass food chain disruptions?
FERTILISER SUPPLY WORRIES
The escalating conflict involving Iran is raising fresh concerns about global food security, as disruptions to fertiliser supplies threaten to ripple through agricultural systems worldwide.
Fertiliser is a cornerstone of modern farming, underpinning crop yields that sustain entire societies. Yet, the current saga exposes how vulnerable this system is to geopolitical shocks.
Analysts warn that if supply disruptions persist, the world could face a renewed surge in food prices – or, in a worst-case scenario, shortages in some regions.
At the centre of the drama is the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow but vital shipping corridor through which a significant share of the world’s fertiliser and its raw materials pass.
The con-flick has led to shipping delays, higher insurance costs, and in some cases a halt to exports. This has created an immediate bottleneck in international supply chains.
Compounding the issue is the close link between fertiliser production and energy markets. Nitrogen-based fertilisers, such as urea, are produced using natural gas.
As this con-flick pushes up energy prices, production costs for fertiliser manufacturers have surged. Some producers have scaled back output, while others have paused new orders altogether due to market volatility.
The impact is already being felt by farmers. In several countries, fertiliser prices have risen sharply, forcing growers to reconsider how much they can afford to use.
For many, the choice is stark: absorb higher costs or reduce application rates.
Either option carries consequences. Lower fertiliser use typically leads to reduced crop yields, while higher costs can erode already thin profit margins.
The timing is sensitive. In many parts of the world, including key agricultural regions in North America and Asia, farmers are entering or are already in the planting season.
Disruptions now can have outsized effects later in the year, as planting decisions made under constrained conditions translate into smaller harvests months down the line.
The potential knock-on effects are significant. Reduced crop yields would tighten global food supplies, pushing up prices for staple commodities such as wheat, maize and rice.
Livestock producers could also be affected, as higher feed costs increase the price of meat and dairy products. For consumers, this would likely translate into higher grocery bills, adding to existing cost-of-living pressures.
Much will depend on the duration of the ‘war’, as well as the resilience of supply chains.
Some countries may be able to source fertiliser from alternative suppliers, while farmers could adapt by switching crops or using inputs more efficiently.
Nevertheless, the risks are greater than rewards. Higher input costs for farmers are likely to feed through into food prices over time, contributing to inflationary pressures.
The situation underscores just how bad the interconnected nature of global food systems has become, where disruptions in one region can quickly cascade across continents.
As the conflict continues, policymakers and industry leaders will be watching closely – aware that the true impact may only become clear when this year’s harvests are brought in.
Indeed, all of this seems a little too ‘convenient’ for those in power who have been calling for a radical shift in our food systems for years now.
They may soon realise their dystopian vision after all.
TRANSFORMING OUR FOOD SYSTEMS
The world is staring down perhaps the most significant food system transformation of our lifetime, and once again, the ‘crazies’ are being vindicated once again.
In 2020, we warned of an upcoming shift to worldwide food systems after The Rockefeller Foundation and other prominent players discussed what the future would look like.

We wound down the commercial side of our gardens and even ignored the conventional gardening wisdom that you prepare for winter with the surplus you have grown in summer.
The trouble with preparedness is that it ties you to land and seasons and ultimately takes away opportunities to explore other aspects of travel and life experiences.
