Crisis in the Fertilizer Supply Chain and Customs Duty Decision
Geopolitical crises directly impact global urea movements and fertilizer prices. According to the economic report titled "Customs Duty Scrapped for Fertilizer with War-Strained Supply Chain"; geopolitical tensions involving major producers have led to significant disruptions in the urea supply chain. Following speculative price increases of over $135 per ton, the Ministry of Trade took action. To prevent rising costs from affecting food prices and consumers, and to ensure supply security, customs duties on urea imports under HS Code 3102.10 have been reduced to zero.
