The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and new Chinese restrictions have interrupted the flow of fertiliser to Asia, threatening the region’s planting season.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint, has been shut, while China has imposed additional restrictions on fertiliser exports. These developments have disrupted the supply chain for fertiliser, a key input for agriculture across Asia.

The timing of the disruptions coincides with the beginning of the planting season, raising concerns about food security in the region.
