My latest story: Russian companies made an estimated £500m windfall from urea fertiliser alone this spring – £5m per day – as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent global prices soaring. Almost half was from US imports, which broke records in March and April.

Did you know that 'sustainable' aviation fuel (SAF) can be made from inedible beef fat? With court docs and trade data, we've uncovered links between SAF arriving in the UK, and illegal deforestation of a protected Amazon reserve.
