Fertilizer Shock: Why Farmers Are Getting Crushed First | Josh Linville

Fertilizer may be one of the most overlooked pressure points in the global economy — and Josh Linville says the current crisis is already hitting farmers hard. Josh Linville, Vice President of Fertilizer at StoneX Financial, joins Maggie Lake to explain why the feared “global famine” headlines may be overstated, but the fertilizer supply shock is very real. He breaks down why farmers are bearing the brunt of higher costs, how China’s fertilizer export restrictions are reshaping the market, and why pricing and supply problems could stretch into 2027. Linville also explains why the Strait of Hormuz disruption, Russia/Ukraine fertilizer flows, urea shortages, and rising protectionism could create longer-term risks for food prices, supply chains, and investors watching real assets.
