We already saw a glimpse of the consequences during the LPG crisis, but if this strait is blocked for long, India could even face a food crisis. That sounds shocking because India is an agricultural nation and agriculture is supposed to be the backbone of the country. But every crop grown in India depends on three nutrients—Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium—and India controls almost none of them. Around 50% of these fertilisers come through this 21-mile seaway. When we look at India’s agricultural data since 1951, the numbers are alarming. In 1951, India applied just 0.49 kg of NPK fertiliser per hectare and produced 536 kg of grain. Today, we apply 139 kg per hectare and produce 2,515 kg. While yields rose 5×, fertiliser use rose 280×. To protect farmers, the government led by Narendra Modi buys fertiliser at ₹2,200 per bag but sells it at ₹242, meaning taxpayers pay ₹1,958 per bag. Since the Russia–Ukraine war, the Government of India has spent ₹6.77 lakh crore on fertiliser subsidies—more than spending on education and healthcare.
