Owen's brother's concern has indeed occurred; the Russian Security Council stated that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused about half of the global fertilizer exports to stagnate, with nitrogen fertilizer prices rising by 30%.

Deputy Secretary-General Alexander Venedikotov indicated that this disruption could damage sowing activities in Asia, while oil supplies to Europe and Asia have decreased by 40% compared to planned levels.

The strait carries about one-third of the global maritime fertilizer trade.

The UN trade agency warned last month that countries like Sudan, which rely on this waterway for over half of their supplies, face the most severe shortages.
