:*[[Sulfur]] is a byproduct of cleaning sour gas and [[crude oil]]. Turned into [[sulfuric acid]], it is the indispensable ingredient in [[phosphate]] [[fertilizer]]. Without it, phosphate rock stays rock. Sulfur that sold for about $400 a ton before the [[war]] now costs more than $1,000. In July, [[Abu Dhabi]]’s national oil company set its official price at $1,000 a ton.

:*{{quotebox-float|The Mosaic Company here in Florida. Today, October 5th at 9 am we were notified that effective today, the South Fort Meade Mine will cease all operations. Therefore all phosphate mining at that mine will be shut down. ...The reason why they are suspending operations is the high price and lack of sulfur….the main driver. Also affecting our production and operations at the mines are high [[diesel]] prices. Couple that with high [[fertilizer]] prizes, due to high sulfur and diesel prices, that farmers are no longer able to or willing to pay, high [[tariff]]s, and now also [[Trump]] removing import bans of [[Belarus]]ian [[potash]] and Russian and Moroccan fertilizer; which are much cheaper than what we can produce at the moment}}

:*According to the [[USDA]], only 30% of the U.S. winter [[wheat]] crop was rated in good or excellent condition in early June 2026, down from 49% at the same point a year earlier, as the harvest got underway...That’s a collapse in one of the country’s most essential crops, unfolding at the same moment that [[fertilizer]] prices have surged to their highest level in years and a single shipping corridor has thrown global food supply into crisis.
