An estimated 20% to 30% of globally traded phosphate fertilizers pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with the region accounting for a significant share of global phosphate production. As of March 2026, the blockade of this strait has halted these shipments
Saudi Arabia is a top-four global exporter of phosphates and is a major supplier of phosphate fertilizers (like MAP and DAP) that must pass through this bottleneck
Impact of Disruption: The stoppage of shipments has severely affected supply chains, with nearly half of the world's traded urea and a third of the world's phosphate passing through the now-restricted strait
