A problem with ships travelling through the Strait of Hormuz has stopped a lot of fertiliser from reaching countries worldwide. This is happening just as Ghana needs it for planting.

Ghana imports all the mineral fertilisers it needs for farming. Much of this comes from countries near the Gulf.

Analysts are concerned this will make it hard for Ghanaian farmers to get the fertiliser they require.

This could lead to lower crop yields during the next planting season.

The situation affects urea and phosphate supplies that Ghana depends on.

More information about the exact impact on Ghana's supply chain is being gathered.
