The Strait of Hormuz conflict is creating major disruption across global fertilizer supply chains, with up to 30% of globally traded fertilizer products at risk as Gulf exports face shipping delays, plant shutdowns, and rising energy costs. The report highlights that the Gulf region supplies 30–35% of global urea exports and 20–30% of ammonia exports, making any prolonged disruption a serious threat to fertilizer availability, crop yields, and food security. Fertilizer prices have already surged, with Middle East granular urea rising above USD 590 per tonne, and global fertilizer prices projected to average 15–20% higher in the first half of 2026 if the crisis continues.

U.S. corn farmers are facing growing concern over fertilizer costs and supply availability, according to new NCGA survey findings. While many growers have secured fertilizer for the 2026 crop season, worries are rising sharply for 2027 as global shipping disruptions, tighter fertilizer production, Middle East market volatility, and phosphate trade duties add pressure to supply chains. The report highlights that fertilizer affordability has worsened, with farmers now needing about 185 bushels of corn to buy one ton of urea, the highest level on record.

China’s upcoming sulfuric acid export restrictions, combined with disrupted Middle East sulfur shipments and rising raw material prices, are intensifying global supply shortages. The policy shift is expected to drive up costs across phosphate fertilizers, copper mining, titanium dioxide, and chemical sectors, accelerating the restructuring of global sulfuric acid supply chains toward diversification and localization.
