That sounds low. We’re looking at food shortages across multiple continents due to fertilizer not getting exported. That means starvation and death, which, in a language that corporations should understand: reduces the available workforce to produce goods, which means shortages in other areas. That’s on top of the cascading supply shortages of all the other goods that can’t get through a major trade route - we’ve already seen what they can do from the last time that strait got blocked, as well as the pandemic.

Is Hormuz a major trade route for things other than petroleum, fertilizer, and a handful of other things? It’s not exactly a through-route the way, say, the Gulf of Aden is, so I’d have thought we’d only be talking about stuff actually produced by countries bordering the Persian Gulf itself.
I mistakenly though the strait of hormuz and the suez canal were connected/related and this was affecting all shipping through the region on top of their base products being blocked

I may have filled up my shed with food, these people are insane and unpredictable

Isnt it the impact that a reduced supply has on production of goods that rely on these things?

My mental map was off.
