  • ASX Agriculture Stocks Gain Amid Fertiliser Price Surge Due to Iran Strait Closure
    April 4, 2026, 4:54 AM EDT. Fertiliser prices surged sharply after US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global fertiliser shipments. Australian urea prices rose 60% to A$1,350 per tonne amid critical sowing periods for wheat and canola. The conflict threatens up to 70% of global urea supply, with natural gas disruptions adding to costs. ASX-listed Ridley Corporation, which controls 46% of eastern Australia's fertiliser market, stands to benefit from domestic supply advantages. GrainCorp gains from elevated commodity prices. This disruption is impacting earnings forecasts into FY27, with companies lacking strong pricing power facing margin pressures.
