> Sabic Agri-Nutrients reported third-quarter net earnings down 62% year on year to 484 million Saudi riyals, with revenue down nearly 9%. The report attributed weaker sales volumes and higher transport costs to shipping disruption following the Strait of Hormuz closure; the company is also pursuing a longer-term urea capacity expansion in Saudi Arabia.
