MESSAGE OF THE WEEK

Greediness refers to an excessive or selfish desire for more of something, typically wealth, power, food, or resources, beyond what is necessary or fair. It often involves prioritizing personal gain over the well-being of others or disregarding ethical considerations.

HEADLINE NEWS OF THE WEEK

Rising input costs tied to the conflict in the Middle East are adding strain to an already challenging farm economy. To better understand how global fertilizer market disruptions are affecting producers during spring planting, the American Farm Bureau Federation conducted a Fertilizer Availability Survey of farmers and ranchers across the country. More than 5,700 farmers responded to the survey, which was conducted April 3 through April 11.

The war between the United States, Israel and Iran that began on 28 February 2026 is already hitting farmers and food systems around the world hard. What started as a military conflict has turned into a major economic shock because Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz have blocked or severely slowed the flow of oil, natural gas and fertiliser

The world has become well versed in the importance of the strait of Hormuz to the world’s energy flows, but attention is increasingly turning to its vital role in another market – the fertiliser on which harvests depend.
