StoneX analyst Josh Linville says Russia's decision to halt fertiliser exports for the rest of 2022 removes major supply, since Russia accounts for about 14% of global urea exports and large shares of UAN and potash. He adds that China could worsen the situation, because China and Russia together supply about 40% of global phosphate.
Losing Russian and possibly Chinese export volumes tightens global nitrogen, phosphate and potash supply, which keeps fertiliser prices elevated and raises feed grain production costs.
