The war in Iran has increased fertilizer
. It has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's near
of the Strait is because of
by the U.S. and Israel. The Persian Gulf
is a key supplier of fertilizer
. Gulf nations are among the world's top exporters. The recent
has resulted in around 35 per cent of the world's fertilizer
being disrupted. Farmers are having to pay up to 35 per cent more for fertilizer. Experts predict
will be planting less
, rice, and wheat. This will lead to smaller
and higher food prices.
