West Asia conflict affecting Indian agriculture in multiple ways

Fertilizer risk & cost inflation
Disrupted Gulf supplies (urea, DAP, LNG, sulphur) raising prices and subsidy pressure ahead of Kharif
PRESSURE on crop protection products cost and availability
Sharp cost inflation, supply-chain disruption has led to shortages & increased cost of cultivation
Export disruption of Ag produce
Rice, fresh fruits like grapes & pomegranate, vegetables like onion, spices like chilli & cumin experiencing massive export hurdles
PRESSURE on farm profitability
Shortages of farm inputs & increase in cost of cultivation, potentially leading to lower usage - impacting yield/ quality
