Show Notes
Fertilizer prices surge due to U.S.-Iran conflict, threatening American farmers costs. The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route, is blocked, disrupting supplies of essential materials like urea, ammonia, phosphates, and sulfur. The U.S. heavily relies on imports, particularly potash, and fertilizers account for a significant portion of farming expenses. Farmers and organizations like the American Farm Bureau Federation are alarmed, urging President Trump to ensure safe passage. Prices have already risen by 37% since 2020, with anhydrous ammonia and urea experiencing further increases. Irans new leader has maintained the straits closure, exacerbating global oil supply issues.
