Food is set to become even more expensive:
World fertilizer prices have surged +44% since the start of the Iran War, to the highest since 2022.
This comes as ~33% of globally traded fertilizers pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which remains effectively closed.
This includes 23% of global ammonia, 34% of urea, the world's most widely used nitrogen fertilizer, and nearly 20% of global phosphate supply.
Furthermore, the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex has increased ~9% since the Iran war.
The index tracks the futures prices of key agricultural commodities, including wheat, corn, soybeans, sugar, coffee, and cotton.
In the past, world fertilizer prices have acted as a leading indicator for agricultural output prices, as rising production costs eventually force farmers to reduce supply, pushing crop prices higher.
A new wave of global food inflation is imminent.

Oh wow. Efforts to extract Americans who may have been exposed to Ebola are being slowed by the fact that “one of the facilities that can quarantine people suspected of being infected with [Ebola] is currently housing Americans who were passengers on the MV Hondius.”
WHO declared an Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a global health emergency after 336 suspected cases and 87 deaths were reported.
Health officials say it is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, a rare Ebola variant with no approved treatments or vaccines.
