> SABIC Agri-Nutrients’ third-quarter net earnings fell 62% year on year to SAR 484 million, while revenue declined nearly 9%, amid weaker sales and higher shipping costs. The report links the freight pressure to supply-chain disruption around the Strait of Hormuz and notes the company’s plan to expand urea capacity by 54%.

## Why it matters

Higher freight costs reduce the net returns on fertilizer exports and may constrain the near-term incentive to ship urea. The planned capacity increase could add supply over time, but its price effect depends on construction progress and market conditions.
