Iran appears to be shifting import routes to secure key grains, ensuring it can bring in staple food supplies while the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut. Iran’s Shahid Beheshti port in Chabahar, on the Gulf of Oman, has seen crop shipments rise to more than 120,000 tons this week, according to data from ship tracker Kpler.

Iran appears to be shifting import routes to secure key grains, ensuring it can bring in staple food supplies while the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut. Iran’s Shahid Beheshti port in Chabahar, on the Gulf of Oman, has seen crop shipments rise to more than 120,000 tons this week, according to data from ship tracker Kpler. That’s about 12% more than deliveries into the country’s usual grains hub, Bandar Imam Khomeini port, or BIK, in the Persian Gulf. It’s a sharp shift from recent months, when Chabahar handled far less grain than the main terminal. Tracking data compiled by Bloomberg and Kpler also show fewer vessels near BIK, where cargoes typically arrive via the Strait of Hormuz. The country ranks among the world’s largest importers of soybean meal and is a major buyer of Brazilian corn — both used in animal feed and therefore key to the livestock industry. Shipments of all kinds of commodities have been squeezed by the near-halt of traffic through Hormuz this month, driving up prices of everything from fertilizers to fuels. Any prolonged disruptions risk worsening Iran’s food inflation. Prices of some basic foodstuffs have more than doubled in the past year, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization. “Staple food price inflation in Tehran — rice, wheat flour, vegetable oil — was already extreme in the past six months and will accelerate further,” said Joachim von Braun , professor of economic and technological change at Bonn University. Iran’s position along the Strait of Hormuz gives it an advantage in terms of influencing freight traffic. A handful of ships have successfully transited the waterway this month, but flows remain severely restricted and the country’s control is not absolute: When Iran itself needs to import goods, high security risks and insurance costs mean some ships may be unwilling to make the journey. Tracking data show 14 vessels, some loaded with grains and others coal, currently heading toward Chabahar. C...
Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman are discussing a merger to consolidate amid an industry downturn.
