# EU Tariffs Cause Sharp Decline in Russian Nitrogen Fertilizer Exports

> New EU specific duties on nitrogen fertilizers from July 1, 2026 pushed total tariffs on ammonium nitrate to 24.5-28.5%. Russian fertilizer exports to the EU fell nearly fourfold in the first nine months of 2026, while Russian producers redirected shipments to Turkey and India at lower prices.

## Why it matters

Russian nitrogen supply is being diverted from Europe to Turkey and India at lower prices, which tightens EU nitrogen availability and adds to urea and ammonia cost pressure for feed grain production.
