The Middle East poses increasing risks to global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, are already elevating energy and agricultural input costs worldwide. These shocks quickly spread through food production, with potential shifts towards biofuel further increasing food price volatility. Import-dependent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, are particularly vulnerable.

To stabilize supply chains in the short term, measures include diversifying trade routes, strengthening market monitoring, supporting farmers, and providing targeted assistance to vulnerable nations. Diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain crucial for protecting global energy markets and food security.

Humanitarian aid, while vital, can unintentionally spread plant pests. This video explains how such risks arise during emergency operations, highlighting key guidance from CPM Recommendation R-09 under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). It underscores the importance of preparedness, coordination, and phytosanitary measures to protect plant health, food security, and livelihoods.

Protecting plant health supports food security and livelihoods, ensuring aid doesn't create new risks.
