    Fertilizer markets under pressure: tight supply, softer prices, and a shifting outlook

    In our latest episode, Sam Taylor, Farm Inputs Analyst with RaboResearch, is joined by Justin Ratcliffe, Principal Analyst for Fertilizers at CRU North America, to explore the near-term outlook for global fertilizer markets. Justin leads CRU's North American fertilizer coverage, focusing on pricing, market intelligence, and strategic insights across nitrogen, phosphates, and potash. Geopolitical disruptions and shifting trade flows continue to shape markets, while affordability pressures and evolving supply dynamics are driving divergence across nutrients. Nitrogen prices have softened amid strong imports and cautious demand, while phosphate markets remain constrained by tight supply and elevated sulfur costs. The discussion highlights how these dynamics are creating ongoing volatility and uncertainty, with implications for global agricultural productivity over the next 12–24 months. Time stamps 00:00 – Welcome and introduction 02:30 – Nitrogen reset: geopolitics, supply influx, and demand hesitation drive price correction 12:25 – Nitrogen price outlook 13:50 – Phosphates: tight supply vs. affordability constraints 19:35 – China and supply risk: export uncertainty and tight sulfur supplies 27:25 – Potash: stability and affordability support steady demand 30:00 – Forward risks: policy shifts and "black swan" events with limited market impact amid growing resilience 33:30 – Closing remarks and Kansas City BBQ If you have any questions you would like for us to consider, please send them to eric.gibson@raboag.com.   Disclaimer: Please refer to our global RaboResearch disclaimer at https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/disclaimer/011417027/disclaimer for information about the scope and limitations of the material published on the podcast.

    Southern Hemisphere grain and oilseed June update: Skyrocketing production costs and El Niño uncertainty

    In this episode, members of the global RaboResearch team provide a brief update on grain and oilseed markets and production across some of the Southern Hemisphere's largest growing regions, including Australia, Southern and Southeast Asia, and South America. Amid ongoing concerns around the Iran conflict and its impact on energy and agricultural inputs, our analysts discuss how these pressures are affecting regional production and profitability, and how impacts may evolve into the second half of 2026. At the same time, the lingering threat of El Niño could introduce additional stress across key growing regions and global trade flows. These combined factors are already driving shifts in crop mix and planted area for the current season, with important implications for 2027 and beyond. Time stamps: 00:00 – Steve Nicholson, Head of North American Crops: Welcome. 00:32 – Vitor Cacula Pistoia, Senior Analyst – Grains & Oilseeds, Australia: Iran conflict impacts on inputs and diesel, margin pressure, and El Niño risk. 5:14 – Oscar Tjakra, Senior Analyst – Southern & Southeast Asia: Palm oil outlook, El Niño risk, and the Iran conflict's impact on Indian production. 11:13 – Marcela Marini, Senior Analyst – Grains & Oilseeds, South America: Brazil production outlook, cost pressures, and potential planted area adjustments. 18:00 – Wrap-up and conclusion Be on the lookout for our next episode, featuring regional updates for the Northern Hemisphere including China, Europe, and the US.

    US fertilizer supply and production dynamics with CRU Group's Chris Lawson

    RaboResearch's Farm Inputs Analyst Sam Taylor discusses the ever-complex topic of US fertilizer supplies and production with CRU Group's Head of Market Intelligence, Chris Lawson. As farm profitability is reaching historic lows and inputs remain high, a great amount of attention has been placed on fertilizer's role in farm economics. With growing political pressures to increase self-sufficiency, a number of other barriers remain constant in the ability to significantly increase domestic production of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. In recent news, the Trump administration has announced efforts to drastically increase capabilities and support, aiming to lessen the demand for fertilizer imports by accelerating domestic capacity. At the same time, multiple input companies and other sources would suggest curtailment in domestic production is the short-term reality. Efforts to boost US fertilizer supply may have no choice but to rely on imports. However, opportunities exist with the right partners – namely the US' neighbors to the north and south. Chris Lawson serves as Head of Market Intelligence at CRU Group, providing pricing and consultancy guidance for the organization. With his Australian farming background, Chris is well-rooted in agriculture and understands the sector's cross-value chain needs. Time stamps: 1:38 – Introducing Chris Lawson, CRU Group 2:30 – Can the US realistically boost fertilizer production over the next two to three years? 4:10 – Why nitrogen is the best opportunity for the US to reduce its trade deficit on fertilizers 11:52 – Phosphates: production curtailment in the short-term, but what about long-term production in the US? 18:05 – Exploring raw materials outside of the US and potential alternatives for traditional mining sources 22:10 – Can strategic reserves offset the highs and lows of production and cost cycles? 24:50 – Strategic partnerships and trade are a necessary requirement to ensure input availability moving forward, particularly with potash 25:50 – North American solutions vs. exclusively US production and supply 28:00 – Wrap-up and conclusion If you have any questions you would like for us to consider in our discussion, please send them to eric.gibson@raboag.com.   Disclaimer: Please refer to our global RaboResearch disclaimer at https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/disclaimer/011417027/disclaimer for information about the scope and limitations of the material published on the podcast.
