Russia, the world's largest exporter of fertilizers, faces significant hurdles in addressing a potential global supply shortfall triggered by escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. While the conflict has shuttered production facilities across the Middle East and choked shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, industry sources indicate that Russian producers are unable to ramp up output sufficiently to fill the void.
