Fertilisers and what the lack of chemical ones did to Sri Lanka


In 2021, the government of Sri Lanka banned the use of chemical fertilisers. As a result, crop yields fell and food prices went up.  As usual, it was the poorest who were hit hardest by the rises. 

The attack by Israel and the USA has prevented chemical fertilisers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This means that the whole world will experience what Sri Lanka did in 2021. But this will not be just one nation, this will mean price rises on a global scale. But it will not take effect now, it will take effect after the next harvests. 

While Trump will deny this, it will be an example of Trumpflation. And voters across the globe will not be happy.
