The world is heading into a global food crisis thanks to the war in Ukraine, according to the head of one major Agri organization.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s ongoing invasion of Ukraine is going to have a \u2018catastrophic\u2019 effect on the world\u2019s supply of food, the head of one of the world\u2019s leading fertilizer companies.<\/p>\n

Both Russia and Ukraine account for a significant portion of the global grain supply, with both nations also having significant roles within the supply of fertiliser, as well as its raw materials.<\/p>\n

However, with trade grinding to a halt as a result of the latest stage in the ongoing conflict, the head of one major fertilizer company is sounding off alarm bells.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalf the world\u2019s population gets food as a result of fertilizers\u2026 and if that\u2019s removed from the field for some crops, [the yield] will drop by 50%,\u201d Svein Tore Holsether, who heads up agri company Yara International, told<\/a> the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s not whether we are moving into a global food crisis \u2013 it\u2019s how large the crisis will be,\u201d he went on to say.<\/p>\n

Holsether emphasized that there was already significant supply difficulties before the start of the current conflict, with the BBC noting that the increased cost of gas prices was already resulting in a steep rise in the cost of fertilizer.<\/p>\n

The Yara International boss also is reported to have pointed out that around a quarter of key nutrients used in food production come from Russia, with sanctions now looking likely to further constrain in supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time we\u2019re doing whatever we can do at the moment to also find additional sources,\u201d he emphasized. \u201cBut with such short timelines it\u2019s limited.\u201d<\/p>\n
