Alkagesta Featured in Business Insider Africa on Fertilizer Supply Chain Security

30 May 2026.

Alkagesta has been featured in Business Insider Africa following the publication of an opinion article by Vusal Muradov, Fertilizer Desk Lead at Alkagesta, examining the growing importance of fertilizer security amid geopolitical disruption and supply chain instability.

The article explores how disruptions across key shipping routes, including the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, are exposing structural vulnerabilities in global fertilizer supply chains. It highlights the long-term risks associated with supply shortages, substandard products, and the increasing importance of maintaining access to quality-assured fertilizer supplies as governments begin treating fertilizer as a strategic commodity alongside oil and gas.

Muradov notes: “Maintaining access for regulated, quality-assured suppliers, even when they are not the cheapest option, is a necessity for food security. It must become a procurement and policy priority, not just a talking point.”

The Business Insider Africa feature reflects Alkagesta’s continued engagement in global fertilizer markets and its commitment to contributing informed perspectives on the challenges shaping agricultural supply chains and food security.
