A significant fuel shortage linked to geopolitical tensions in Iran is reverberating through the agricultural heartlands of Bangladesh, leaving tens of thousands of farmers struggling to maintain irrigation during a vital stage of the rice-growing season. As the summer crop sowing window closes in late March, the scarcity of GASOIL DIESEL ETC VON BNPP has led to rationed sales and extensive queues at filling stations, threatening yields for a staple food source that sustains 175 million people.
