# Fertilizer Company Shares Fall on Egypt Stock Exchange After Natural Gas Supply Cuts Deepen

> Egypt increased natural-gas supply cuts to three major fertilizer producers to about 33% from 20%, effective Sunday, with the restrictions set to continue indefinitely. The cut is equivalent to shutting one production line at each plant; shares of Abu Qir Fertilizers and Mopco fell about 3% and 4%, respectively.

## Why it matters

Reduced gas availability constrains feedstock for nitrogen fertilizer production and can tighten fertilizer supply, while raising producers’ operating and import costs. This may support urea prices, although the article reports no direct fertilizer price move.
