The war in Ukraine is sending fertilizer prices soaring, intensifying fears of reduced global food production and higher food prices. Prices for all main fertilizers have spiked in view of sanctions against and export restrictions by Russia, the world's largest fertilizer producer. Prices for natural gas, a key input for fertilizer production, are up as well, resulting in higher costs for fertilizer producers and reduced output - further affecting global supplies.
The Fertilizer Market Dashboard provides you several ways to monitor this unfolding situation. The latest monthly prices for major fertilizers and natural gas are provided. Other tabs show the importance of fertilizer imports for a country's agricultural sector and exposure to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Explore these and all of the features of the dashboard below.
