China Urged To Release Food And Fertiliser Stockpiles. Former World Bank president David Malpass has urged China to stop stockpiling food and fertiliser amid growing global shortages. Speaking ahead of talks between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, Malpass said China holds the world’s largest reserves and could help ease pressure on global supplies. The warning comes as disruption linked to the Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to affect fertiliser shipments worldwide. Industry leaders have warned shortages could reduce crop yields and drive up food prices, with poorer countries expected to be hit hardest. China has restricted fertiliser exports in recent months, saying it needs to protect domestic supplies. Malpass also argued China should no longer classify itself as a developing nation in major international organisations.
