The world has a new weapon: it’s called ‘fertilizer’ | Opinion (Newsweek) 

June 20, 2022


Newsweek published an article stating that countries for months have been hoarding fertilizer—and now they are weaponizing it, making sales in return for geopolitical favors. Fertilizers and food shortages have pushed many countries to issue export bans to protect their countries. India, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Serbia, Russia, and Ukraine have prohibited wheat exports. According to IFPRI, 14 countries have stopped the export of foodstuffs since the beginning of the war in Eastern Europe. (See IFPRI tool, Food & Fertilizer Export Restrictions Tracker)
