ZMP reports the European fertilizer market is in a transmission phase after the Strait of Hormuz blockade disrupted ammonia, urea and sulphur deliveries. Urea rose $60-80/t globally within days, European import prices reached about 700 EUR/t, and German KAS rose 15-25%.
Supply disruption to nitrogen and sulphur raises production costs for crop producers and feed grain supply expectations, pushing prices higher for grain and oilseed markets.
