War can delay spring sowing and harvests, with unanticipated and cascading repercussions. Fertilizer utilization and efficiency may be decreased in case fertilizer costs rise. Besides, as seen amid the 2007-2008 nourishment emergency, sending out limits, in theory, drove up worldwide costs, compounding the circumstances. At both the state and person levels, this circumstance energized freeze acquiring.
