šØšŗš¬š„ ā A resident of Havana shares her harrowing experience amidst prolonged blackouts and the desperation gripping Cuba:
āGood morning, my dear. I havenāt been able to communicate with anyone for days, precisely because of the situation here in Cuba. Since Thursday, they cut off our electricity at 9 in the morning and restored it at 6 in the evening. Well, thatās fine. But then on Friday, they cut it off at 11 in the morning and we didnāt get it back until today at 5:05 in the morning.
Sixty-six hours straight without power. Itās been total chaos. Phones without charge, no connection, they shut down the internet because that pig, Marrano, said that the uproar and popular discontent was caused by the misuse of social media, not because theyāre a bunch of bastards; no, no.
So, no connection, no communication, nothing. You canāt imagine the desperation of everyone: food going bad, a total collapse. Not even the emergency generators in the clinics were working. People were paying 250, 300 pesos just to charge their phones for a little bit anywhere that had a generator. People took to the streets, but the police, you know⦠So, my dear, this is unbearable. I hope all is well with you, and I wish you a good week.ā

Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and itās beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives.

That means that of the 2.1mn tonnes of urea ā the worldās most widely used nitrogen fertiliser ā that would normally have been loaded for export over the past two weeks, about half has been disrupted.
At the same time, more than 1.1mn tonnes of fertiliser and fertiliser inputs, including 570,000 tonnes of urea, is currently stuck in the Gulf, either being loaded or already on ships, according to Kpler data.
Nitrogen fertilisers, which underpin about half of global food production, are made from ammonia using natural gas, which has soared in price since the war began last month.
The shortages have begun during the northern hemisphereās planting season, leading industry executives to warn of lower harvests for staples such as rice.
If the disruption continues, āthis will be much worse than 2022ā, said Veronica Nigh, senior economist at The Fertilizer Institute, a US-based trade group. āThe longer the conflict goes on, the more dire the situation will become.ā
