# Egypt Kept Its Gas Flowing and Captured Most of Europe's Fertilizer Market

> Egypt supplied more than 60% of the fertilizer entering European markets from March to September, according to Industry Minister Khaled Hashem. Egypt kept its gas supply to factories flowing while other countries rationed gas, and export prices roughly doubled from about USD 400-450 to nearly USD 900 per ton. Fertilizer and chemical exports reached nearly USD 5 billion in the first part of the year.
