The United Nations has called on Iran and the United States to immediately allow fertilizer ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz to reduce fears of a global food crisis.
The head of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Jorge Moreira da Silva, speaking on the occasion of the COP 31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey, said that Iran and the United States should continue their broader negotiations.
He emphasized the need for urgent management of fertilizer delivery from the Strait of Hormuz and said that millions of poor and vulnerable people in the world may suffer from poverty and hunger due to shortage of fertilizer.
Jorge Moreira da Silva urged the two countries to allow at least five fertilizer tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz per day to restore global fertilizer supplies.
He said that before the start of the conflict, about one-third of the world's fertilizer was transported through the Strait of Hormuz, but due to obstacles in shipping, the price of fertilizer has increased by about 30 percent.
