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. Odile Renaud-Basso, president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, noted the potential long-term consequences of the current situation.
"This could have a big impact on prices, food prices, over time."
