Chempricehub Important Reminder: US-Iran Conflict Affects Fertilizer Supply
Published on 2026-03-04
March 4th News: On March 3rd, Xing Jin'e, the Secretary of the Board of Liuguo Chemical, stated that the fertilizer industry in the Gulf region primarily produces urea and potash fertilizers, along with sulfur, a key raw material for phosphate fertilizers. If the U.S.-Iran conflict persists, it will significantly impact fertilizer production capacity, inevitably leading to reduced supply of urea and potash fertilizers and increased costs for phosphate fertilizers. Chempricehub Analysis: Urea, Bull-Bear Score: +1.5 The U.S.-Iran conflict may lead to reduced urea supply from the Gulf region, directly benefiting spot price increases. Combined with futures market analysis, the recent settlement price of the main urea futures contract (e.g., 2605) is 1,821 yuan/ton, with an increase in open interest indicating heightened market activity. If the conflict escalates, expectations of supply shortages will support a rebound in futures prices, potentially leading to a short-term upward trend. The bullish rating has been raised to +1.5. Phosphoric Acid, Bull-Bear Score: +1.0 The conflict has driven up the cost of sulfur, a raw material for phosphate fertilizers, indirectly pushing up spot prices for phosphoric acid. The tightening supply-demand balance is favorable for the market. Currently, there are no relevant futures data, but the spot market is significantly influenced by cost-driven factors, with prices expected to rise moderately. The bullish rating is set at +1.0. Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), Bull-Bear Score: +1.0 As a major component of phosphate fertilizers, rising sulfur costs have increased production expenses, putting upward pressure on spot prices. Against the backdrop of constrained supply, demand-side support may strengthen the upward trend. No relevant futures data are available, but the outlook for spot prices is favorable, with a score of +1.0.
