The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since February 28, halting vessel traffic and creating an emerging supply gap. This critical waterway previously handled 30-35% of global crude oil, 20% of natural gas, and up to 30% of internationally traded fertilizers.

While existing stocks currently prevent immediate food price hikes, continued closure will lead to higher energy, fertilizer, and commodity prices by late 2026/2027. Farmers face increased input costs, requiring urgent support, especially for low-income, import-dependent nations. This global disruption, exacerbated by potential export restrictions, demands timely diplomatic and policy interventions to avert a global food crisis.

This webinar will analyze recent disruptions in global markets and agrifood systems, focusing on Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It will examine LAC's dependence on fossil fuels and international fertilizer markets, assessing their implications for agrifood systems.

The session aims to identify public policy guidelines for mitigating risks and strengthening regional resilience across different time horizons, particularly in the context of the Middle East conflict.

The Middle East poses increasing risks to global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, are already elevating energy and agricultural input costs worldwide. These shocks quickly spread through food production, with potential shifts towards biofuel further increasing food price volatility. Import-dependent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, are particularly vulnerable.

To stabilize supply chains in the short term, measures include diversifying trade routes, strengthening market monitoring, supporting farmers, and providing targeted assistance to vulnerable nations. Diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain crucial for protecting global energy markets and food security.
