# Urea Prices Spike as Middle East Conflict Cuts Iranian Production | CZ app

> Iranian urea and ammonia production has been idled since June 14, with all stored ammonia flared, after an Israeli drone struck a South Pars gas facility. Egypt has idled its nitrogen plants since Israeli gas supply stopped on June 13. Phosphate prices are also rising on limited supply, with India and Brazil driving DAP and MAP demand, while potash prices are stable.

## Why it matters

Lost Iranian and Egyptian urea output tightens nitrogen supply, and rising phosphate prices add to input costs for feed-grain and oilseed producers. Brazil's affordability limits may cap potash demand even as prices hold.
