What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Russia and Ukraine and the war between the United States and Iran, have impacted global fuel costs and access to quality seeds and fertilizer. A strong El Niño warning is compounding these global supply chain risks. These factors, alongside climate shocks, affect resilient food production in South Africa.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The disruption of fuel supply chains and spikes in global oil prices directly affect food supply chains. This situation, combined with climate shocks, drives up energy and food prices, threatening agricultural supply and food security in South Africa.

War and harvest failures are currently driving up energy and food prices, which threatens harvests across Africa and South America.
