The war in the Middle East, and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has triggered what experts have described as the most significant energy crisis in more than 50 years. But oil and gas are not the only vital resources that are impacted.
Key Points

- The Middle East is a key global supplier of fertiliser, exporting around 45% of the world's supply.
