Global food supply under threat as Iran war disrupts fertiliser, warns industry chief

A fertiliser industry leader warns that conflict involving Iran could severely disrupt global fertiliser supplies, a key input for agriculture. Reduced availability and rising costs may limit farmers’ ability to grow crops, putting billions of meals at risk worldwide. The impact would be felt most in import-dependent and developing regions, where food security is already fragile, potentially driving higher prices, shortages, and increased hunger if the situation persists.
