# OCP warns Hormuz disruption has evolved into global fertilizer supply shock — Fertilizer Daily

> OCP Group executives say the Strait of Hormuz crisis has evolved from a raw-material problem into a broad fertilizer supply shock. Phosphate producers face reduced sulphur imports and limited ability to export finished cargoes. About 50% of seaborne sulphur and 24% of traded ammonia normally transit the strait.
