The United Nations has warned against the impact of stopping the passage of chemical fertilizers through the Strait of Hormuz on global agriculture. Jorge Moreira de Silva, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations and Director General of the United Nations Office of Project Services, said on Wednesday, October 14, on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Bangkok, that if the United States and Iran do not reach an agreement on this issue in the coming weeks, the planting season will begin without the arrival of sufficient chemical fertilizer. According to him, if the two countries agree, the mechanism developed by the UN can be implemented within seven to ten days. According to the proposed plan, a coordination center for registering ships and coordinating safe passage will be established in Oman, and UN observers will work alongside the local authorities in the Persian Gulf ports to verify the loading of the cargo. According to Moreira de Silva, a daily passage of only five ships through the Strait of Hormuz can maintain the supply of fertilizer to countries that need it badly. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz following the start of the war between the US and Israel against Iran in March last year drew the attention of the international community to the issue of oil exports. The global price of crude oil has fluctuated a lot in recent months due to developments, and in recent weeks it is said in the United States that the passage of oil shipments through this waterway has increased. On the other hand, Iran has increased its attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days. The continuation of this war, the uncertainty of the Strait of Hormuz and the increasing attacks by the Revolutionary Guards on oil tankers and cargo ships, the reduction of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz presented a serious challenge to many agricultural industries in the world.
