Key Insight of the Week<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Global geopolitical shocks can have far-reaching consequences for Africa\u2019s agrifood systems. New IFPRI research finds that the ongoing Iran conflict is increasing pressure on fuel, fertilizer, and food prices in Nigeria, while also highlighting opportunities to strengthen domestic production and regional trade.<\/p>\n

Effects of the Iran conflict on fuel, fertilizer, and food prices in Nigeria<\/strong><\/a>, by Oliver K. Kirui, Adetunji Fasoranti, Temilolu Bamiwuye, Bedru Balana, Joseph W. Glauber, Charlotte Hebebrand, and Steven Were Omamo<\/p>\n

How could the ongoing Iran conflict affect Nigeria\u2019s agrifood system? <\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s Evidence for Africa<\/strong>, IFPRI researchers examine how disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz are increasing global oil and fertilizer prices, creating new pressures on Nigeria\u2019s food system.<\/p>\n

The policy note explains that although Nigeria has expanded its domestic refining and urea production capacity, it remains dependent on imported refined fuel, potash, phosphate, and other fertilizer inputs. Rising transport, logistics, and production costs are placing additional pressure on farmers, food systems, and household welfare.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the authors identify opportunities for Nigeria to strengthen domestic refining, expand fertilizer production, deepen regional trade, and position itself as a major supplier of fuel and fertilizer across Africa. The findings highlight how timely policy responses can help mitigate external shocks while strengthening longer-term resilience.<\/p>\n
