Fertilizer and energy prices have spiked due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, putting pressure on agricultural producers and sparking fears of a potential rise in food prices. While the rise in fertilizer and energy prices is shifting incentives in production and energy markets, a recent analysis by Arita and Glauber shows that global supplies remain relatively robust and upward pressure on food prices appears weak. However, the Strait’s closure can affect two major food-exporting countries, Argentina and Brazil. They account for 10% of wheat, 39% of maize, and 66% of soybean exports in the world, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates for the 2025/2026 marketing year. (They also export a range of other agricultural products, including meats, tropical items, and cotton). Both countries also depend heavily on fertilizer imports, a significant portion of which come from the Persian Gulf region. A continued disruption in fertilizer markets could affect producer planting decisions and fertilizer application rates, which could, in turn, affect production and commodity prices.

Space solutions company SES has announced that it will provide service on its high-capacity medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellite network O3b mPOWER to Petrobras to connect multiple new Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading systems (FPSOs). The new FPSOs will enter into operation in Brazil between 2026 and 2030 to meet the energy sector’s growing demand. As SES points out, Brazil is home to the majority of the offshore projects under development worldwide, and Petrobras is one of the largest FPSO operators on the planet, responsible for most of the country’s oil and gas production. Operational since 2024, O3b mPOWER’s high-performance, carrier-grade, low-latency, open-standard MEO network is, says SES, ideal for energy market use cases like FPSO connectivity.

Italy is looking to Brazil as a strategic partner to build new industrial and energy supply chains around biofuels, as the long-awaited EU-Mercosur agreement opens a new phase in economic relations between Europe and South America. In the forum, “Technology and Environment: Prospects for Italy and Brazil in light of the EU-Mercosur Agreement,” held in Rome, Italian Industry Minister Adolfo Urso described Brazil as “an important country for the development of alternative technologies, particularly biofuels.” Urso said Italy’s industrial system has worked to convince the EU in Brussels that biofuels should be considered “one of the answers for the energy transition,” especially in the decarbonization of transport. The comments reflect a broader Italian industrial position favoring a more technology-neutral approach to Europe’s green transition, rather than relying exclusively on electrification.

When potential providers and financiers for Venezuela’s electric industry, including Siemens Energy and GE Vernova, recently held meetings with officials in Caracas, questions of how they might get paid to shore up the country’s deteriorated grid were top of mind, two sources involved in the talks said. Executives came away hesitant, the sources said, as the nation tries to jumpstart a US$ 100 billion reconstruction plan pushed by Washington. Venezuela has so far failed to guarantee timely payments to suppliers that would help key industries – like its oil-and-gas sector – recover. “I returned very skeptical from Venezuela,” said an executive from an equipment provider that worked with the government and state energy firm PDVSA, who attended one of the Caracas meetings. “The power plants have not been properly repaired in 10 years, so the needs are almost infinite. But they still have no clue on how we would get paid.”
