UN FAO Warns Hormuz Strait Closure Could Trigger Global Food Crisis Within 6-12 Months

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), on May 20, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz represents not a temporary shipping disruption but the beginning of a systemic agricultural shock that could trigger a severe global food price crisis within six to twelve months. FAO Chief Economist Maximo Torero stated that alternative trade routes must be established, export restrictions reduced, humanitarian logistics secured, and buffer mechanisms provided to address higher transportation costs. The FAO emphasized that the window for preventive action is rapidly closing, with current agricultural and government decisions on fertilizer use, imports, financing, and crop selection directly determining whether a severe global food price crisis will occur.
