The sudden end of a regional ceasefire has formally reopened the Hormuz shipping crisis, କ re‑igniting fears of major disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. This development threatens to ripple through chemical logistics, tanker operations, freight rates, and global supply chains, especially in the fertilizer sector.

OCP is researching sulfur extraction from pyrite and pyrrhotite as an alternative to refinery by-product sulfur. This development could reshape long-term sulfur supply and support a more resilient and lower-carbon phosphate fertilizer value chain.

The Kiel Institute’s “Chemical-Food Cascade” framework explains how the 2026 Hormuz crisis is moving beyond chemical supply chains and into food inflation. Fertilizer disruption earlier this year may continue affecting corn, wheat, and sugar-based ingredient costs long after chemical logistics begin recovering.

Australia enters its critical pre-season agricultural procurement period with improving global logistics, lower freight costs and stronger chemical supply conditions. For fertilizer and agrochemical buyers, July represents the most important purchasing month before spring planting begins.

China’s urea export limits and aggressive methanol-to-olefins (MTO) rates set the stage for 2026 chemical flows. July pricing decisions will reveal whether China will defend its crisis‑era share or recalibrate toward market balance. Global buyers must watch China’s export strategy closely.

Global fertilizer markets are stabilizing after months of disruption, but June 2026 remains a critical procurement window. Urea prices are down 36%, ammonia exports may restart in July, and fertilizer buyers must navigate supply recovery, policy deadlines, and pricing uncertainty.
