Yara International has warned that fertiliser purchases for the 2027 season are running significantly behind historical levels in Europe, the US, and Brazil, raising concerns about potential market tightness ahead of spring applications. Despite improved crop economics and stronger grain prices, farmers have delayed buying, and imports into key regions remain well below average as supply risks persist due to high gas prices and supply disruptions. Yara reported lower third-quarter earnings, citing higher European gas costs and operational issues, but noted a recent increase in European nitrogen deliveries and maintained its outlook for improved demand. Management is closely monitoring the market, emphasizing that substantial demand remains unmet as the application season approaches.

Syngenta reported a 10% drop in third-quarter sales to $5.2bn and a 2% decline in EBITDA to $800m, citing European drought, heatwaves, and delayed farmer purchases as key factors. Despite the quarterly weakness, nine-month EBITDA rose 1% to $3.2bn as the company shifted toward higher-margin and innovative products, improving its margin profile. The group’s ongoing strategic focus on innovation and cost controls supported earnings growth amid challenging market conditions, as Syngenta prepares for a planned Hong Kong IPO in 2027. Leadership changes were also announced, with Gaël Hili becoming president of Syngenta Seeds and Dr Zhigang Hao taking over as CEO of ADAMA.
