# 1H results show ferts producers are yet to feel the impact from COVID-19

> Fertilizer producers' first-half 2020 results show higher sales volumes at Eurochem, Nutrien, CF Industries and Yara, though profits fell in some cases due to weaker product prices. CF Industries cited favourable weather and more planted US corn acres. Lower gas prices and a stronger US dollar helped nitrogen producers offset weaker commodity prices.

## Why it matters

Solid fertilizer demand in the first half and higher US corn acreage point to continued nitrogen input demand, though the results describe past performance rather than a new price driver.
