The US-Israel military conflict with Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries about 20% of global oil demand and roughly a quarter of traded nitrogen fertilizer. Diesel futures hit a two-year high, and New Orleans urea barges traded $520-550/ton, up from $475.
Phosphate prices also rose about $30/ton.
Strait closure disrupts fertilizer and energy flows, raising farm fuel and nitrogen costs and supporting feed grain prices through higher input costs and tighter supply.

Dated on the move day, it reports the Strait of Hormuz closure, which cuts a quarter of traded nitrogen fertilizer supply and sent New Orleans urea barges up from $475 to $520-550/ton, directly explaining the 8.43% jump.
Hormuz closure from the Iran conflict lifted fertilizer and energy prices, with phosphate up about $30/ton, a supply and input-cost shock that plausibly drove DAP higher.
Dated 2026-04-01, the Hormuz closure raised phosphate prices about $30/ton, a supply and cost shock that plausibly fed into DAP strength in the window.
