Prepare to pay more for food: Nova Scotia farmers hit hard by skyrocketing cost of fertilizer, diesel from Iran war disruptions
The American-Israeli invasion of Iran, and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz, is having a devastating effect on the cost of vital fertilizers. Nitrogen is a fundamental component in the mixes used by local food producers, but one third of the global supply comes from Persian Gulf nations so a massive amount of that stock can’t be delivered because of the Iranian shipping blockade.
There is not so much of an actual blockade as there are issues with insurance- Some ships are going through.
Based on current prices, using the usual amounts of fertilizer this season will cost about 40 per cent more. Laying out that kind of extra cash at the beginning of the growing season is a tough pill to swallow.
But putting less on the fields to try to save money in the short term would reduce yields dramatically, which would be a heavy financial hit on the back end. Put another way, farmers are between a rock and a hard place.

Hi Penny. Why would Nova Scotia worry about fertilizer when Saskatchewan is the world’s major producer of Potash fertilizer in the world?
Not sure what that is?
Unless, there will be shortages overall that can’t be covered by Saskatchewan alone?
Use lots of potash to increase the yield per acre while reducing the nutritional value of the crop per acre. Sounds good to me.
Hey Gary
I think about you each time the fertilizer topic comes up-
As wrong as it is, this is the way it’s done.
