🚨 BREAKING: WARNING FROM U.S. FARMER: FERTILIZER PRICES EXPLODE 77% An American farmer from Iowa says fertilizer prices have surged 77% in just 12 days since the start of the U.S.–Iran conflict. Why does this matter? Because fertilizer is the backbone of modern agriculture. Nearly 30% of global fertilizer...

The energy crisis is quickly turning into a food crisis - The US is the largest food exporter - 70% of US farmers say they can’t afford the fertilizer they need - Key inputs (fertilizer + diesel) up ~50% - China, the largest fertilizer exporter... banned exports Synthetic fertilizer accounts for ~50% of global food production Now factor in Hormuz: - 30% of global fertilizer supply... gone - 20% of LNG supply... gone And fertilizer is made from… natural gas So when farmers can’t afford inputs, they don’t magically raise prices enough to compensate... They just produce less food

The Iran war is about to make your food more expensive, and most people don't even know why. A third of the world's fertilizer supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz. With it closed, farmers can't get what they need to grow crops right at the start of planting season. Less fertilizer means lower yields. Lower yields mean less food on the market and higher prices for everyone. For the world's poorest countries, it won't just mean higher bills, it will also mean hunger. Source: AJ+

$200 oil will plunge the world into a global recession. Iran just threatened to cut off the Strait of Hormuz completely, and Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Macquarie all say it's now a real possibility. Here's what that does to your life: Gas hits $7 a gallon in the U.S., shattering every record. But that's just the start. Oil powers the tractors, the fertilizers, the trucks that move your food from field to shelf. A third of the world's fertilizer trade passes through Hormuz and it's already been cut off. Urea prices are up 50%. U.S. fertilizer supply dropped to 75% of normal levels right at planting season. Less fertilizer means less corn. Higher prices for everything the American food system touches. At $200 oil, this stops being a Middle East problem and becomes everyone's problem. Source: BusinessBasicsYT

Farmers are selling their pre-purchased fertilizer at double what they paid instead of planting a crop. Let that sink in. It is more profitable to sit out the season and flip your input costs than to put seed in the ground. Soybean farmers lost $100 an acre last year. Corn farmers are looking at $50 to $100 losses this year. So what is the response? Switch from corn to soybeans. Soybeans make their own nitrogen. They do not need the fertilizer corn demands. The problem is we are already oversupplied on soybeans. More soybeans on a flooded market just drives prices lower. Fertilizer prices have gone through the roof. The Strait of Hormuz disruptions made it worse. Farmers who locked in fertilizer early are reselling it instead of using it. That is how broken the commodity food system has become.

Ossoff: About a third of the international trade in fertilizer goes through the strait of hormuz. And we're coming up on the planting season. So farmers in Georgia and across the country are seeing fertilizer prices now going through the roof, diesel prices now going through the roof. Farmers are already getting hammered in the trade war. The rest of the world is retaliating against American farmers for all of Donald Trump's tariffs. And so this spells potentially very tough times in the weeks and months ahead for American agriculture

🚨 FOOD CRISIS ALERT 🚨 This is NOT about fertilizer anymore… this is about GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY COLLAPSE. • Europe urea production ↓ 3.5 MT • China export bans → 5.5 MT gone • Strait of Hormuz disruption → 13.5 MT wiped out • Middle East war choking gas → fertilizer plants shutting And now? 🇮🇳 India’s urea plants are cutting output as LNG dries up (India Manufacturing Review) ⚠️ What happens next: ❌ Farmers CUT fertilizer use ❌ Crop yields DROP ❌ Sowing decisions change ❌ Food production SHRINKS 📉 Less fertilizer = LESS FOOD Wheat. Rice. Corn. Soybean. ALL at risk. Even a 10–20% fertilizer cut can slash yields sharply 🔥 This is how it spirals: Fertilizer shortage → Lower yields → Supply shock → Food inflation → Panic And we are heading straight into kharif season. 💥 The scary part? Over 30% of global fertilizer trade flows through Hormuz — now disrupted (Reuters) China is restricting exports. Russia is banning shipments. Supply chains are BREAKING. 🚨 This is not price inflation… This is FOOD AVAILABILITY RISK If this continues: 👉 Lower harvests 👉 Export bans 👉 Empty shelves in vulnerable regions ⚠️ Watch fertilizers. Because when fertilizers collapse… Food collapses next.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The Iran war is not just an energy crisis, it is a food crisis, and almost nobody is talking about it. About a third of all globally traded fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz: the same waterway that has been effectively closed since this war began. For fertilizer, there are no strategic reserves, no alternative routes, and no fast substitutes. Urea prices have surged over 60%, and it is projected that global fertilizer prices will average 15-20% higher in the first half of this year. Here is what makes this more alarming than the oil crisis: Whereas oil does have alternatives, 50% of global food production depends on synthetic fertilizers. If farmers cannot get fertilizer during spring planting season, they cannot simply apply more later, the window closes and the yield is gone for that season. The FAO's chief economist put it bluntly: this logistics bottleneck has no viable workaround in the short term. The world is focused on oil prices and blockades and nuclear talks, but the quiet crisis unfolding in the fields of Asia, Africa, and Europe this spring could outlast the war by years. You cannot negotiate your way out of a failed harvest.

Gov. JB Pritzker: Farmers have made our state among the biggest food producers in the nation, in the face of major headwinds. Surging fertilizer and fuel costs have jacked up your costs. Crop prices have dropped substantially. DC is hanging farm communities out to dry. The closing of the Strait of Hormuz have sent input prices through the roof.

I fully support President Trump’s courageous decision to take out Iran and the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. BUT ⬇️ Everyone is talking about higher oil prices but what people are missing is that the Middle East is one of the largest exporters of fertilizer. Fertilizer prices are going to go up which means that American farmers already hurting from the trade agenda will continue to get squeezed and American families are going to pay higher prices at the grocery store. All ahead of a competitive midterm.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Friedberg outlined what was likely an unintended consequence of the Iran war: Urea, the main solid nitrogen fertilizer farmers spread on their fields, is now in serious global shortage. 35% of the world’s nitrogen supply normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz. When the strait shut down and China cut its exports at the same time, Urea prices more than doubled in just days, surging from around $350 to over $700 per ton. Farmers across Africa and South Asia are already running short, while American corn growers are getting squeezed hard because the spike has made their crop unprofitable. This is quietly developing into a major global food crisis! Source: The All-In Podcast david friedberg

Terrifying warning from Professor Mearsheimer. He explains how the war in Iran will trigger a global famine. With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, the world is losing its fertilizer supply, leading to massive food shortages, hyperinflation, and millions of deaths.

🚨 CENTRAL BANK WARNING: RATIONING IS ON THE TABLE ECB President Christine Lagarde just said it outright: A third of global fertiliser moves through the Strait of Hormuz — now at risk. If disruption continues, this doesn’t just mean higher prices… It could mean rationing. Not speculation. Not theory. From the head of the European Central Bank: “Shortages hit output directly… worse for growth.” This is the chain reaction: Energy → Fertiliser → Food → Inflation → Rationing The system is under pressure.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is not just about oil. 30% of the world’s fertilizer moves through that chokepoint and prices are already up 77%. Tankers are burning, allies want help, and China and India are cutting their own deals. Americans may support strikes on Iran, but there is still strong opposition to putting US boots back in the Middle East. This is not just a security issue. It is an energy, food, and economic crisis.

The conflict in the Middle East has led to a temporary disruption in global energy and fertilizer markets. Thankfully our farmers and families are staying ahead of the curve. While the vast majority of American farmers have already locked in their fertilizer for the 2026 growing season, we’re also looking out for those who haven’t. We’ve temporarily waived the Jones Act, opened up fertilizer exports from Venezuela, and keeping every option on the table to keep supplies stable and costs under control. On the food side, prices in many categories have actually fallen over the past year, and those downward trends are continuing as we rebalance global trade and open new markets for American agriculture. We’re protecting the food supply. We’re strengthening our markets. Farm security is national security! 🇺🇸

⚠️Famine isn’t a distant risk — “it’s already on the calendar” In this clip, Mike Adams (HealthRanger) warns that “tens of millions of people will face famine conditions in 2027” if the Iran war continues — and that “every day that Trump continues this war, that situation is going to get far worse.” Adams points to countries already on the brink: “Yemen… Somalia” face daily food shortages, and India — with “1.3 plus billion people” — depends on massive fertilizer subsidies to survive. But fertilizer prices are exploding, and Adams notes the Indian government is now “having to pay a fortune for it,” a cost that threatens future crop yields and global food stability. This is the unseen fallout of current U.S. strategy in the Iran war — destabilized fertilizer supply, collapsing energy flows, and agricultural systems pushed past their limits.

Fox: The U.S. Postal Service is going to impose their first ever fuel surcharge of 8% on packages because of higher gasoline prices. Remember, it's not just oil, but also the impact on fertilizer, on ammonia, on so many other things, and how that trickles down into the supply chain. You're ultimately going to see higher prices.

Why Your GROCERY SHELVES Are About To Be EMPTY – Farmers Warn of 2026 DISASTER!! Fertilizer prices have exploded after the Strait of Hormuz shutdown, with 70% of farmers saying they can’t afford what they need. In Ireland, farmers have been shutting down roads and blocking refineries in massive protests against skyrocketing fuel prices. At the same moment, a brutal drought is baking farms, pushing crop yields toward collapse. This is the worst farming crisis in decades and it’s hitting right now during spring planting. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth discusses the coming higher food prices, empty shelves and fragile system as the global food supply is more vulnerable than ever and most importantly what you can do about it NOW before it’s too late!

A farmer warns the Strait of Hormuz crisis is already driving up the cost of fertilizer and fuel. And says Americans should expect higher prices long term because of it. “Nitrogen in general and fuel both spiked because of the war.” “We’ve exposed ourselves pretty heavily to whoever it is that produces our nitrogen.” “We’re two months away from where we usually lock in nitrogen at a cheaper price.” “It’s through the roof right now because of this Strait of Hormuz deal.” “We’re anticipating not only higher prices right now, but probably higher prices for quite a long time.” “Everything I produce on this farm gets shipped out by truck.” “Diesel fuel down the road's $5.70, and those trucks get about six miles to the gallon.” “This is gonna inevitably affect everyone.”

The Ministry of Agriculture must urgently prioritize dismantling the fertilizer cartels that have hijacked the sector, leading to exorbitant prices and the distribution of substandard products. This crisis not only burdens our farmers but also threatens food security and agricultural productivity. Immediate and decisive action is required to halt this exploitation, ensure the supply of high-quality fertilizer, and restore fairness and efficiency in our agricultural supply chain. Our farmers deserve better, and it is our duty to protect their interests and support their crucial role in our nation's development. 4o
