Interesting article. I’ve already been hearing about fertilizer shortages but I don’t know if this is directly related to sulphuric acid or if this is maybe? In addition to other natural fertilizers produced in the Middle East.

The problem is not china. I don’t think people commenting read the article. Not a big deal I guess but when you read the article the comments don’t make sense.

The shortage of sulphuric acid from Israel and Trump’s Iran War and other related effects will continue to hurt the world economy for years to come in ways we are only beginning to understand.

Exactly, China is just protecting their domestic supply here, but the real issue is that global supply chains were disrupted by the war on Iran, and we're seeing more and more ripples from that every single day.

Sulfur and urea trade have both been disrupted.
