Strait of Hormuz conflict threatens global food prices as FAO warns time is running out

Rome - The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is not a temporary shipping disruption but the beginning of a systemic agrifood shock that could trigger a severe global food price crisis within six to 12 months.

Avoiding such an outcome will require alternative trade routes, restraint on export restrictions, protection of humanitarian flows, and buffers to absorb higher transport costs, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has warned.

6 months puts us right around the Nov elections. Skyrocketing food prices should Doom Trumpolini, even if we manage to avoid food riots here in thee FSoA. The rest of the 3rd Worlld will probably have a Global "Arab Autumn".
