The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz due to the conflict with Iran is causing serious disruption in global fertilizer markets.

Key products such as urea, ammonia and sulphur are particularly exposed, as significant volumes move through the Gulf region. Delays in shipments, higher energy costs and uncertainty over availability are pushing fertilizer prices sharply higher.

This may lead to reduced fertilizer use, lower crop yields and increased pressure on global food prices, especially in import-dependent markets.
