Yara's chief executive has warned that the Iran conflict risks cutting fertiliser supplies, which could reduce crop yields and push food prices higher globally. Fertiliser production depends heavily on natural gas, making it vulnerable to Middle East disruptions. The company says billions of meals could be at risk.

The U.S. is pressing G20 members, the IMF, and the World Bank to coordinate on fertilizer access after Middle East conflict disrupted food trade supply chains. Fertilizer shortages risk cascading into higher food commodity prices and crop yield declines, with import-dependent economies most exposed. No specific policy
UN aid chief Tom Fletcher warned that South Sudan is at risk of full-scale famine and collapse. The alert raises immediate pressure on donor governments to increase humanitarian funding and access for relief operations in the conflict-affected country.
