GCC Fertilizer Sector | Bleak outlook on pricing pressure, fading cost advantage

Neutral on the fertilizer sector, GCC players among worst-positioned. We would be cautious about unselective exposure to the sector in the current environment of falling marginal production costs and market oversupply. The GCC cost advantage in urea has declined by 70%, DAP by 34%, over 2014-16. This makes GCC producers more vulnerable to drops in global energy prices as these result in a downward shift in the fertilizer price floors while regional production costs are on the rise.
