Russia (I guess your country) just halted ammonium nitrate fertilizer exports to prioritize domestic farmers amid the ongoing Iran conflict.
You just not aware. Every year, in spring and autumn, Russia stop (or noticeably limit) exports of fertilizers, diesel and other goods important for agriculture. To make domestic prices stable and prevent speculation so farmers and agriculture enterprises could do their job without uncertainity.
Russia have its own resources for all of that stuff, but greedy producers could prefer so called "foreign markets" over domestic needs, if prices on foreign markets will rise suddenly. To force producers care about domestic needs more than about foreign one, this export limitations set. Even if there is nothing happening on the foreign markets at all. They have nothing to do with any shortages or foreign market prices, they are about certainity. It is the guaranty, that whatever happen or not happen in the world, domestic agriculture will be supplied with all they need. Those sly producers, who tried to make a profit stopping production at the time of export limits and restart it when limits are off, quckly found out that such games with a state could end very bad. That is why we now have complete food soverenity back, after it was destroyed after USSR fall.
It is just a soverenity. When the country care more about itself than about some stupid "world market" where rich idiots speculate with paper fertilizer, paper oil and other virtual stuff.
Why US, who, I'm pretty sure have more than enough resources to produce any necessary amount of fertilizers, don't want to be a sovereign state and protect its own farmers at the important time?
US also could allow devaluation of its own currency to compensate higher prices on the market. Higher prices with higher wages works perfectly, just dollar become less worthy. It's even better for US with its $39B internal + ~$150B external debt problem. It is much easier to pay out enormous debt when currency, in which this debt accounted become cheaper. If a loaf of bread will cost $1B, than any US citizen will be able to pay this fucking debt without much problem.
Why the only option for US to try to keep prices for farmers at bay is a war somewhere on the other side of Earth and certainly about protection of fucking Israel to open what was not even closed until US start to protect Israel?
Fuck Israel, close exports, protect own farmers from external problems. Isn't that what US state was created for?
