Fertilizer trade impacted by Strait of Hormuz conflict
Eighteen economies are particularly vulnerable to nitrogen fertilizer disruptions in the Gulf
13 Jul 2026
On 10 July, the World Trade Organization (WTO) published a short data blog examining how trade in fertilizers has been affected by the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
It shows that certain economies in Africa and Asia are particularly vulnerable to resulting fertilizer shortages and price hikes.
Reopening the Strait of Hormuz would contribute to easing trade frictions and restore stability to global markets, the WTO finds.
The data blog findings are also highlighted in the WTO's July edition of its monthly publication News Harvest.
