Yara warns Iran war could cause fertiliser shortages in Africa

newsMay 1, 202610165

Yara's CEO warned that the Iran war could trigger a global fertiliser auction that would leave Africa's poorest countries scrambling for supplies. The world's largest fertiliser firm says such a scramble would drive up prices and cause shortages, producing "dramatic consequences" for food production in vulnerable African communities. Because fertiliser underpins crop yields, disrupted supply and higher costs could quickly translate into widespread food insecurity and higher global food prices.

The Iran War is illegal as of May 1 but Trump’s ego + narcissism don’t allow him to end the war—to withdraw or admit error. Beyond stupid to allow a vengeful narcissist w/ dementia-driven aggression to start and NOT END a war. @whitehouse.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov bsky.app/profile/seth...

You can tell they are quite desperate right now. The Iran War turned out to be a disaster in every possible way. Most importantly, it has been and will be a political disaster. They know it no matter how they try to paint it.
