India resumes fertilizer imports through Hormuz.

The Indian government reported on Monday (22) that four ships loaded with fertilizers crossed the Strait of Hormuz last week and headed for Indian ports. The vessels were carrying urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and sulfur, products considered strategic for supplying the country's agricultural sector. Last week, Indian authorities had reported that 16 ships with approximately 700,000 tons of fertilizers remained detained in the region due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, raising concerns about possible impacts on the supply of nutrients for crops. To guarantee the supply for the summer harvest, India has already imported approximately 5 million tons of fertilizers in 2026, including urea, in addition to expanding domestic production, according to information previously released by the government. According to an official statement, national fertilizer stocks currently total 19.60 million tons.
