Iran’s threat to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is affecting about a third of the world’s fertilizer trade, raising prices 30% to 40% and threatening food supplies around the world. There is very little slack in the fertilizer supply chain because the product does not store well. Some of it is prone to blowing up, or it gets clumpy and hard to use with the slightest moisture. Fertilizer plants tend to operate at capacity and take years to construct. Unlike fuel, there are no strategic global stockpiles for fertilizers.
