What's Next?

I make a statement. The European Union's nitrogen-based fertiliser industry has traditionally been heavily dependent on gas of Russian origin. However, in the past three years, it has also become increasingly reliant on Russian nitrogen fertilisers. The import statistics speak for themselves:

- 2021: The EU imported approximately 2.33 million metric tonnes of fertilisers from Russia.

- 2022: Imports increased to around 2.56 million metric tonnes.

- 2023: A slight decrease occurred, with imports totalling approximately 2.44 million metric tonnes.

- First half of 2024: Remarkably, in just the first six months, imports reached 2.56 million metric tonnes, matching the total for the entire year of 2022. 

These figures highlight a growing dependence on Russian fertilisers. There is a rising advocacy for imposing duties on Russian nitrogen fertilisers, with some suggesting a 30-40% range to support local EU production. If such duties are imposed-particularly before the spring application season-who stands to benefit the most, aside from European producers?

Reflecting on 2022, when the EU temporarily removed its import duties of 6.5% on all producers except Russia and Belarus, we observed various origins supplying the EU market. In this scenario, Nigeria, well-situated geographically, could become a significant beneficiary. Egyptian and Algerian producers might also strengthen their positions, and producers from the Arabian Gulf are likely to seek a share of this market.

As for Russia, after increasing its presence in LatAm (including WC of Mexico and Argentina), India (during tenders), Turkey, and the US, it is anticipated that they will intensify efforts in East Africa and Southeast Asian markets. This could lead to notable shifts in global trading patterns.
