# TIQ - Insights Hub - Global Fertiliser Disruptions

> Queensland insights report that Middle East conflict and Hormuz closure have pushed up global fertiliser costs and created shipping uncertainty. Australia imports about 90% of its nitrogen and nearly 70% of its phosphate fertilizer. Higher input costs are expected to flow through to grain and red meat and poultry feed.

## Why it matters

Import dependence and higher nitrogen and phosphate costs raise farm input costs and could tighten grain and feed supply in the region. The impact is a background risk rather than a new price shock.
