Hormuz Strait Shipping Disruptions to Trigger Global Crop Decline in H2 2026-2027, FAO Warns

GateNews
According to FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu at a Mediterranean ministers' meeting on May 7, global fertilizer shortages caused by Hormuz Strait shipping disruptions will lead to crop reductions and food supply tightness in the second half of 2026 and 2027. Qu noted that even a delay of several weeks in fertilizer delivery during critical crop growth periods will result in significant production losses. Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, which rely heavily on fertilizer imports, face the highest risk.
