Ugandan farmers report rising fertiliser costs, with 50-kg bags of urea selling for about Shs 220,000 in Kampala and DAP for Shs 180,000–200,000. The increases are attributed to international supply-chain disruptions linked to the Iran crisis and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Disruption to shipping through a key fertiliser and energy route is tightening supply and pushing input costs higher in Uganda. If prices remain elevated, farmers may apply less fertiliser, limiting crop yields and increasing upward pressure on feed-grain prices.
