Multiple maritime trade routes are experiencing disruptions that collectively threaten global food security. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has warned that Russian attacks in the Black Sea and sustained disruptions in the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz could trigger global famine, particularly impacting the Global South. S&P Global also projects that energy disruptions from the Iran conflict, combined with the Ukraine war, are creating compounding risks to grain, fertilizer, and energy trade.
