Also natural gas is used to make fertilizer and prices have skyrocketed due to the sanctions on Russia.

Also fertilizer plants in US had maintenance and construction deferred during the pandemic which led to shutdowns without any production capacity coming online. The compressors used in those plants are only available from a limited number of vendors.
