According to an ICIS report, the disruption around the Strait of Hormuz has not only tightened fertilizer markets, but is also reshaping how they function. When logistics and critical inputs like sulfur are constrained, access, not cost, determines outcomes. When that access is constrained, the effects extend beyond fertilizers into how and where food is produced. ๐Ÿฒ ๐Ÿ“ˆ Read more of the report on World Fertilizer ๐Ÿ‘‰ worldfertilizer.com/special-โ€ฆ
