FROM AFBF: Middle East Tensions Raise Spring Planting Concerns

Global tensions in the Middle East are creating uncertainty in fertilizer markets just as U.S. farmers begin spring planting. With nearly 49% of global urea exports and 30% of ammonia exports tied to the Persian Gulf, disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could raise input costs and impact production here at home.

Higher fertilizer and fuel prices ultimately affect farmers, food production and the affordability of everyday goods.

FROM AFBF

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented on potential fuel and fertilizer supply issues following military action in Iran.

"We are hearing a groundswell of concern from farmers facing increased volatility in fertilizer and fuel prices, as well as some reports of companies freezing fertilizer sales, at a critical time with planting season coming into full swing. History teaches us that energy market shocks quickly reach the farm gate and countries in and around the Persian Gulf account for a large share of fertilizer supplies our farmers rely on, so it’s a serious issue. We’ve alerted White House and congressional staff as we further investigate the situation, but price gouging should not be tolerated and it’s important for safe passage to be provided for these critical supplies.”
