Could the Strait of Hormuz crisis lead to a global food emergency? (CGTN Europe)

Joseph Glauber, Research Fellow Emeritus at the International Food Policy Research Institute, spoke to CGTN Europe in London. He discussed the impact of the Strait of Hormuz crisis on food security. The region is a major importer of food products and a significant exporter of fertilizers, which could be disrupted by the conflict. While there is currently enough grain on the market to prevent a major crisis, the reduction in fertilizer use could lead to lower crop yields and higher food prices. The situation could become more critical if the conflict persists and countries scramble to find alternative fertilizer sources. The duration of the crisis will determine its impact on the global food system. Watch on YouTube.
