FAO Warns Hormuz Closure Could Trigger Global Food Price Crisis Within a Year

🌾 FOOD SECURITY — The oil shock already has a second casualty, and it eats. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Hormuz carries fertilizer precursors and grain shipments alongside oil — a prolonged closure starves supply chains, not just fuel lines. FAO's one-year window maps onto a blockade now entering its 82nd day with no resolution timeline. Poorest import-dependent nations — MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa — absorb the hit first. A food crisis compounds Iran's diplomatic isolation or erodes it, depending on who frames the blame.
