Russia-Ukraine war hits fertiliser supply; here’s why

As the Russia-Ukraine war has led to supply disruptions and sent global fertiliser prices soaring, have seen a sharp surge in the last month.

The raw materials used for the production of fertiliser are natural gas, phosphoric acid, ammonia, sulphur and rock phosphates. All of these are produced by Russia in large quantities; in fact, Russia is one of the biggest producers of ammonia supply.

India, in particular, depends highly on Russia for particular raw materials.
