Infographics: The Global Implications of Fertilizer Shortages

In a world deeply interconnected by agriculture, the scarcity of fertilizer as its crucial component casts a shadow on global food security. Visual Capitalist has partnered with Brazil Potash to illustrate the problem and make an attempt to discover a potential solution that could mitigate the impending crisis.

High Costs, Higher Stakes

Unpredictable twists in recent times—be it the pandemic or geopolitical turmoil—have disrupted supply chains, driving fertilizer prices to unprecedented heights. Though these costs are beginning to stabilize, they remain substantially higher than pre-pandemic levels. Looking ahead, the equation will be influenced by population growth and changing agricultural patterns, shaping the global landscape of agriculture.

Farmers, especially those in low-income, food-deficient nations, feel the squeeze of inflated prices. This not only ripples through global food prices but also directly affects the very essence of food security worldwide.

The Tightrope of Food Security

Fertilizer costs are a pivotal factor in maximizing crop yields. Upsetting this equilibrium has far-reaching consequences. In the past year, cereal production dipped by 1.3%, with Europe bearing a heavy brunt at -5.9%. Such imbalances can lead to increased undernourishment, possibly causing a million additional deaths and impacting around 100 million lives, a stark reminder of the urgency to bolster crop production.

Unlocking Local Solutions

The narrative isn’t all grim; a beacon of hope shines through localized fertilizer production. Enter Brazil Potash, spearheading change by extracting and processing local potash ore—an elemental fertilizer component. This innovation not only boosts yields but also strengthens crop resilience within Brazil, offering a roadmap to resilience against global disruptions.

As we brace for an expanding global populace, safeguarding our food supply becomes paramount. The tale of fertilizer shortages illustrates the intricate web of interconnectedness we navigate. With Brazil Potash leading the way, we glimpse a potential path to counteract the looming threat and secure sustenance for all.

Is it a Roundup lawsuit or more about bad financials? I think the market reacted only to announced financial results.

Europe is falling behind in this field. The concerns 30 years ago was reasonable. Now not so much. We need crops that can survive in a more extreme future climate. Handle droughts and hot weather better. Crops that are less tasty to pests like hogs and deere.
