![The conflict in Iran is disrupting fertiliser production and exports in the Middle East, tightening global supplies and raising fears of higher food prices, industry executives and analysts have warned.
The Middle East is one of the world’s largest fertiliser producers, while the Strait of Hormuz is a crucial shipping route for exports. About 35 per cent of global urea exports pass through the waterway, according to CRU data. Urea is the most widely used nitrogen fertiliser, which in turn underpins around half of global food production.
The route also handles 45 per cent of global sulphur exports, a key ingredient used to produce phosphate fertilisers, as well as significant volumes of ammonia, a key ingredient for nitrogen fertilisers.
“We shouldn’t underestimate what this potentially could mean for global food production,” said Svein Tore Holsether, chief executive of Europe’s largest fertiliser group Yara.
He added that the focus on oil and gas was “overshadowing” the impact on the fertiliser industry. “If you’re not getting [fertiliser] into the field of the farmers, yields could go down by up to 50 per cent in the first harvest,” he said.
If the disruption continues, consumers could see higher prices for bread within six to 10 weeks, eggs within a few months and pork and broiler chicken within six months, estimates Raj Patel, food system expert at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs.
Fertiliser prices have already jumped sharply. Granular urea prices in the Middle East have risen by about $130 to around $575-650 a tonne since Friday, while Egyptian export prices have climbed by around $125 to around $610-625 a tonne over the same period, according to Argus.
European ammonia futures have also surged, with a 1,000 tonne April cargo trading at $725 a tonne — about $130 higher than when the contract last traded in mid-February.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:33h4q6nw674jdcwfxaq2m2nl/bafkreibkzauygc4wwhtugrvob5slx3h5xizefw35a5kwufpv4jimmnrbui)

Saw in an ICU resident note today. "Anuric for one week, on AVVH at night but renal function is improving. eGFR and creatinine better". You could mock it but this is happening because we continue to report eGFRs in patients for whom it is completely inappropriate. #nephsky
While the volume of out-of-sequence transplants has increased rapidly, this has been particularly stark for unilateral out-of-sequence transplants. The rapid increase in this practice is hard to understand and counters the argument that out-of-sequence placements are necessarily due to organ quality concerns, given that a kidney from the same donor was successfully placed. Additionally, the rapid decrease in the sequence at which OPOs start out-of-sequence allocation, of kidneys across the KDPI spectrum, suggests an increasing level of comfort by the OPO community to use this pathway for organ placement despite the potential adverse consequences for patients who are skipped.8,15-19 Our results indicate that the increasing use of the out-of-sequence pathway is associated with inequalities in transplant outcomes and care, with recipients of unilateral out-of-sequence transplants having disproportionately higher rates of educational attainment, private insurance, and preemptive transplant than recipients of their unilateral in-sequence counterparts.7,11 Our results also suggest that there are inequalities among recipients of unilateral out-of-sequence transplants that are performed at the same center as its mate kidney, compared with recipients of unilateral out-of-sequence transplants performed at different centers, although the underlying reasons are still unclear.
