# Global Situation Update: Iran–US Conflict & Impact on Agriculture

The rising tensions between Iran and the United States are creating uncertainty in global energy and trade markets.

A key concern is the Strait of Hormuz — a critical shipping route where:

Any disruption here may directly affect global agriculture supply chains.

 

**Impact on Energy & Global Cost **

 • Oil prices have surged beyond USD100/barrel – This not only raises fuel costs but also pushes up energy expenses for fertilizer production. Nitrogen-based fertilizers, in particular, rely on oil-linked natural gas, making raw material costs higher. Shipping and transportation of both raw materials and finished fertilizers are also more expensive. 

• **Natural gas prices remain volatile** – Fluctuations directly affect ammonia and urea production, further contributing to global fertilizer price increases.  
Since fertilizer production is heavily energy-dependent, these factors are driving up costs across the supply chain worldwide.

 

**Fertilizer Market Situation**

The Middle East plays a key role in supplying fertilizers and raw materials such as urea and ammonia. Current developments may result in:

  • Supply tightness due to shipping disruptions  
  • Increased fertilizer prices globally  
  • Delays in delivery and availability

In fact, a large portion of global fertilizer trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz, making it a major risk point. 

 

**Impact on Agriculture**

For growers, the effects are direct and immediate:

Some farmers globally are already adjusting planting strategies or reducing input usage. 

 

**What This Means for You**

The current situation may lead to:
