Production at Paradip IFFCO, one of Asia's largest fertilizer plants, has been halted due to a shortage of raw materials like sulfuric acid and ammonia. The shortage is a direct result of the Middle East conflict affecting shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. This shutdown impacts nearly 10,000 dependent families and threatens the national fertilizer supply, as the plant contributes 20% of India's requirements. High-level discussions involving Union Minister Amit Shah have occurred, but raw material supply issues persist. https://www.dharitri.com/impact-of-middle-east-war-fertilizer-factory-iffco-halts-production/ #creator program
