Potash and phosphate-based fertilizers remain mostly unaffected, but nitrogen-based fertilizers that rely on natural gas are the problem. Global urea and ammonia supplies are already being hit hard. #fertilizer #foodsupply #geopolitics

Great primer on Fertilizers by Koh(・ur)aYama in The All-In Podcast (and the war’s implications for $AGRO): - 35% of the world’s fertilizers goes through the Straight of Hormuz. - China is the swing producer, with 15% of the worlds production. They just shut down exports. - At current Urea prices, planting $CORN in the US is unprofitable. AND China stopped importing corn from the US, keeping its price artificially low. US farmers in a lot of pain. - KEY: Fixing a fertilizer facility that has broken takes 3-5 years! (What happened in the middle east). Basically, the largest facility of Urea in the world will be out for multiple years. And constructing one from scratch takes about 7 years! - There is no possible excess production, every facility runs 24/7/365. With a supply shock, the only way to balance the market is to destroy demand through price spikes. Not covered on the video but worth mentioning: - Russia stopped its Ammonia exports (previous step to turn it into Urea) - Australia’s largest Urea facility is down till ~June bc of repairs. - All of Bangladesh’s fertilizer plants are fully shut Bc of supply shock and deficit in natural gas. - Financial Times reporting Urea prices up to $800/ton. Not sure where fertilizer prices normalize, but seems likely that: - They can stay higher for longer due to long lead times of bringing capacity online. - No clear top in the short term due to incredible supply/demand imbalance. - Second derivative effects will lead to higher agricultural commodity prices. $AGRO will be a beneficiary of all this. With their 1.3M metric tonnes of Urea production facility, and >250,000 acres of farmland, they will benefit from both: fertilizer price increases, and commodities prices increases. (Im always asked the same question, so clarifying it again: $AGRO has fixed production costs till end of 2027 for fertilizer. ~$200/ton. Long term contracted gas supply agreements from Argentina’s Vaca Muerta gas reservoir. Not affected by price increases in oil/gas. It all flows down directly to their margin).
