Argus discusses the start of 2024 in South American fertilizer markets, noting slow purchasing in Argentina due to its political situation and poor liquidity in Paraguay tied to El Niño weather.

Slow South American fertilizer purchasing and El Niño-related weather risk point to weaker regional fertilizer demand, which could reduce planted acreage and affect later crop supply.
