Global fertilizer shortages caused by shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz will reduce crop harvests and tighten food supplies from late 2026 through 2027, Qu Dongyu, director-general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said Thursday at a high-level global conference in Rome.
Qu said that the crisis has moved beyond geopolitics and is now hitting at the very heart of the global agrifood system. He said even a delay of just a few weeks in fertilizer deliveries -- missing the critical window for crop growth -- could slash harvests.
He specifically highlighted Africa, Asia and the Middle East as the most vulnerable regions, given their heavy reliance on imported fertilizers.
