7th International Conference Fertilizers of Ukraine
Kyiv, Ukraine, 21-22 May 2026

2026 has proven to be an even more challenging year for the Ukrainian mineral fertilizer market than the previous one. On top of the traditional pressure factors — energy and gas supply instability, hostile attacks on logistics infrastructure, and mobilization risks — a new global factor has emerged: the escalation of the Middle East conflict and the effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The global fertilizer price index has risen by 26%, while the cost of urea surged by nearly 54%. According to the National Bank of Ukraine, Ukrainian buyers may overpay approximately $140 million for fertilizers in 2026 due to the Middle East conflict. Farmer demand, meanwhile, remains resilient.

In Q1 2026, Ukraine increased its mineral fertilizer imports to 1.19 million tonnes — 33% more than in the same period last year. Domestic production declined by 16% to 790,000 tonnes. Ukraine's fertilizer market remains one of the most capacious in the world and one of the most vulnerable to external shocks.

In the complex and volatile conditions Ukraine faces in 2026, the market situation can shift unpredictably. At the same time, the Ukrainian fertilizer market remains one of the largest by capacity globally. To stay informed and make your voice heard, we invite you to participate in the VII International Conference dedicated to the Ukrainian fertilizer market.
