🌍 Middle East War Threatens African Agriculture as Fertiliser Prices Surge

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz are driving up fertiliser prices across Africa, with Oxford Economics Africa estimating an average global fertiliser price rise of nearly 17% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year. Sudan, Tanzania, Somalia, Kenya and Mozambique are identified as among the most exposed countries, given their dependence on Gulf fertiliser imports. Fertiliser futures rose more than 10% on the first day of trading after the war broke out on 28 February.

The African Union chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has expressed deep concern over the disruption to supply chains, while analysts warn that reduced fertiliser use among smallholder farmers could weaken crop yields and push food prices higher over time.
