The ongoing conflict in Iran is threatening to trigger a significant surge in global food prices, particularly impacting developing nations that were just beginning to recover from previous economic shocks. Disruptions to fertiliser shipments and rising energy costs are creating a volatile environment for vulnerable economies that rely heavily on agricultural imports and stable energy markets.
