The Iran conflict has driven up global fuel and fertilizer costs, forcing Sudanese farmers to reduce planting. Sudan relies on Gulf imports for over half its fertilizer needs and is already facing acute hunger due to civil war, with 19.5 million people at crisis levels. Fertilizer groups are cutting production due to squeezed sulphur supplies from the Iran war.
