Mosaic's Q1 2026 call was dominated not by the headline numbers but by a rapidly deteriorating geopolitical backdrop that has fundamentally altered the company's near-term operating calculus. Conflict in the Persian Gulf has disrupted roughly half of all phosphate raw material flows, approximately 20% of global phosphate, one-third of urea, one-quarter of ammonia, and half of seaborne sulfur originate in the Middle East, and when combined with Black Sea disruptions, the supply chain stress is severe. Spot sulfur prices have reached $1,200 per tonne, a level at which, as CFO Luciano Pires stated plainly, marginal stripping margins fall below variable costs. This is the central fact around which every operational and capital decision in the quarter was organized.
