Reuters references IFPRI’s September analysis by Joseph Glauber and Shawn Arita on the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, noting that fertilizer shipments from the Gulf region remained largely halted more than six months into the conflict.
“Fertilizer shipments out of the Gulf region remained largely halted more than six months after the start of the conflict, the Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute said in a note last month. Fertilizer products accounted for a “very negligible” share of the resumption of some shipping during a ceasefire between mid-June and mid-July, it said.”
