# Russian Nitrogen Fertiliser Exports Fall Sharply Under EU Duties

> EU duties on nitrogen fertilizers that took effect on 1 July 2026 cut Russian nitrogen shipments to the EU from 3.76 million tonnes to 1.01 million tonnes in the first nine months of 2026. Russian producers redirected volumes to Turkey and India, at prices 15-20% below European levels. Producer margins fell sharply as logistics costs rose.
