Hormuz Strait Crisis 2026: When Fertilizer Becomes a “Scarce Resource” and the World Struggles to Breathe Article by SO OK TRADING | April 14, 2026 The world is facing a “crisis upon crisis” shaking energy, food, and the global economy. With the U.S. blockade of the Hormuz Strait, vital shipping routes for energy and fertilizer raw materials have come to a standstill. Over 1 million tons of fertilizer remain stranded in the Persian Gulf, oil prices have surged past $100 per barrel, and agricultural production costs worldwide have soared to unprecedented levels. This is not merely an “international political issue” — it is a global warning that fertilizer has become an indispensable strategic resource. The fallout is driving stagflation, a dangerous mix of economic stagnation and soaring inflation. SO OK TRADING invites you to explore this situation in depth — its causes, impacts, and the strategies being discussed worldwide — so that Thai businesses and farmers can prepare wisely in an era where fertilizer is the new gold of the world.
