The Iran war has endangered global food security
The Iran war and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have led to a surge in energy costs and disruptions in exports, causing farmers to face pressure from fertilizers and the lowest purchasing power in four years
The Iran war threatens international food security because production costs have surged and vital export routes have been cut off, particularly with pressure on fertilizer supply pushing farmers’ financial capacity to its lowest level in four years
The World Bank, in a recent report, has warned that this surge in costs is mainly due to the rise in natural gas prices
According to informed sources, European agriculture ministers are now calling for immediate intervention to prevent the continuation of the food price crisis and to preserve grain harvests for the next year’s season
