The Iran war is now threatening the global food supply. Half of the world's sulfur, essential for processing phosphate fertilizer, flows through the Strait of Hormuz. It's still closed. 80% of US phosphorus is applied to soy and corn fields. Those same crops feed livestock and fuel production. As one commodity analyst put it, the effects could become "exponential" if the conflict continues and existing reserves are depleted. US farmers are already dealing with years of elevated production costs. Now add a potential fertilizer shortage on top of $3.93 gas and $119 oil. This is the part of war most people don't think about, the second and third order effects that quietly work their way into grocery prices, livestock costs, and food security months after the first missile lands. The Strait of Hormuz isn't just an energy chokepoint. It's a food chokepoint.
