What are the current disruptions affecting global fertilizer deliveries?

Christine Ramos 0:11

This is the World Industrial News for Wednesday, July 29. Brought to you by Industrial Info Resources of Sugar Land, Texas. A chokehold on fertilizer deliveries caused by disruptions in the Middle East has led to governments and industry players feeling the need to shore up domestic production as a cushion against future trade disruptions and supply shortages. Mexico is definitely one of those countries Having already broken ground on some major fertilizer capacity before the Middle East conflict escalated, the country is now ramping up plans for new, nitrogenous fertilizer construction, sooner rather than later.

How is Mexico expanding its nitrogenous‑fertilizer production to reduce reliance on imports?

Christine Ramos 0:49

Industrial Info Resources data show more than $5 billion worth of nitrogenous fertilizer-related construction underway or planned for the future in Mexico. Industrial Info Resources in its NatGas Today report for Tuesday showed the amount of natural gas running to US LNG terminals remains well below late 2025 highs of just over 19 billion cubic feet. Maintenance, largely at the Freeport LNG terminal in Texas, continues to drag on feedstock. Levels dropped 0.15 billion cubic feet overnight to reach 17.09 billion cubic feet on Tuesday. Even as trade relations have soured somewhat, Canada remains the top crude oil exporter to the US economy, with its 4 million barrels per day in deliveries accounting for about 60% of the US's foreign oil shipments.

Why does Canada remain the top crude‑oil exporter to the United States and what are the recent export trends?

Christine Ramos 1:47

Based on Canadian federal data, nearly all the country's crude oil exports went to the US data to May show total exports averaged 4.5 million barrels per day, a 7% increase from the same period last year. Barring small variances during the COVID-19 pandemic, federal data show steady gains in exports over the last 10 years. Led by continued growth from Vaca Morta, Argentina broke another monthly record by producing 904,000 barrels of oil per day in May. This was the strongest monthly pace on record, up 19.6% year-on-year and approximately 1.2% from April. Petro Peru found five illegal connections used to siphon oil along the ONP between June and July.
