00:05US attack Iran
00:06Iran retaliates by blocking the Strait of Hormuz
00:09Chain reaction
00:10Whether it's oil prices or petrochemical fertilizers
00:12It quickly spilled over into the global market.
00:15Even those thousands of miles away
00:16The US agricultural system is also not immune to the problem.
00:19Trump's actions in the Iran conflict
00:21Riding a tiger south
00:22American farmers over there
00:24But it has already been affected by the soaring price of fertilizer.
00:25And diesel costs are pushing things to the brink.
00:28The collective sounded a red alert, indicating that the situation was becoming unsustainable.
00:31The central and western regions, the lifeline of the nation's food supply
00:34Impact on more than 200 million acres of arable land
00:36Now it is undergoing a
00:38Detonated by their own country
00:39An unprecedented cost storm
00:42Over the past few weeks
00:43Prices of basic agricultural inputs continue to soar
00:46Especially diesel and fertilizer prices have increased.
00:48Most obvious
00:49This directly increased farmers' production costs.
00:52And this pressure just happened to hit...
00:54The key spring sowing period
00:56This makes the original high dependence on timing
00:58Agricultural production with cost
00:59Forced into greater uncertainty
01:03Hormuz I blockade
01:04The food system is also in dire need of attention.
01:06American agriculture will collapse first.
01:08Many farmers have been forced to the brink of bankruptcy.
01:12Fuel equipment and fertilizer prices remain high.
01:15In addition, geopolitical risks arising from the US-China trade conflict
01:18Facing farmers
01:19It's not just the increase in book costs
01:22It is also an investment in the future
01:23There is also the anxiety of not being able to predict returns.
01:26A recent survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation shows that...
01:29Approximately 70% of farmers admitted
01:31Unable to purchase sufficient fertilizer for this season's planting
01:35Nearly 60% of farmers are affected by high prices for fertilizers and fuel.
01:38And thus fell into financial deterioration.
01:40Cost out of control
01:42Furthermore, under the double pressure of income pressure
01:45Many farmers have begun to publicly criticize the Trump administration.
01:48Demands for prompt implementation of economic relief measures
01:51Otherwise the entire agricultural production chain
01:53There is likely to be a greater risk of fracture.
01:56From Middle Eastern Conflicts to American Tables
01:59Hormuz lock
02:00American agriculture can be said to have been ravaged by its own war.
02:03Dragged into the abyss
02:06The American Midwest is an important agricultural production area in the United States.
02:10It is currently the planting season.
02:12However, fertilization is a key production process.
02:15However, it is affected by the spillover effects of the conflict in West Asia.
02:18This has led to a continuous rise in diesel and fertilizer prices.
02:22This caused immense suffering to the local farmers.
02:24In the long run
02:25If production input costs continue to rise
02:28This will inevitably further squeeze farmers' profit margins.
02:31This poses a more severe challenge to agricultural operations.
02:34I think it's a matter of timing.
02:37It could be a momentary defensive state.
02:41There we want to cut off the currency
02:43Without creating any new currency
02:45And try to maintain
02:46Even a better market movement
02:49Or our entry into currency
02:52The camera then shifts to Las Vegas, inland within the United States.
02:54Locals are preparing for the corn and soybean planting season.
02:59However, many farmers pointed out
03:00As tensions between the US and Iran continue to rise
03:03Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted
03:05This, in turn, drove up global fertilizer supply prices.
03:08at the same time
03:09Some suppliers took advantage of the situation and raised prices.
03:12This will further reduce already strained agricultural production costs.
03:15Further aggravation
03:16This places a heavier burden on local farmers' operations.
03:38The situation in the Middle East remains fraught with uncertainty.
03:41In addition, the planting season is approaching.
03:43This has led to a continuous rise in agricultural production costs.
03:46Farmers' input pressure is constantly increasing
03:48The prospects for the entire agricultural production sector have thus been clouded.
