European ammonia prices were reported well above Chinese export prices in late October, alongside high European gas costs and sanctions-related supply constraints. The analysis says roughly one-third of European ammonia capacity has been curtailed and argues that the shutdowns lift prices initially but could eventually lower them as the market clears at the next-highest surviving production cost.
Curtailments constrain ammonia and urea supply in the near term, supporting nitrogen prices, while reduced European demand and a shift to lower-cost producers could limit prices over time. High gas costs also make fertilizer production and supply more vulnerable to energy-market disruptions.
