Los agricultores franceses temen por la cosecha de 2027 ante el aumento de los precios de los fertilizantes

El noventa por ciento de las necesidades de fertilizantes nitrogenados para 2026 están aseguradas, pero el alza de los precios vinculada al cierre del estrecho de Ormuz genera preocupación para la próxima campaña.

La temporada agrícola principal aún no ha comenzado en Francia, pero la atención ya se centra en la siembra para 2027. Las compras de fertilizantes para el año en curso están cubiertas en gran medida gracias a los pedidos realizados el pasado otoño y durante el invierno.

Las compras para la próxima campaña comienzan el mes que viene. El cierre del estrecho de Ormuz, tras la ofensiva israelí-estadounidense en Irán a finales de febrero, ha impulsado los precios al alza. Según Argus Media, el precio de la urea ha pasado de 500 a 735 euros por tonelada, un aumento del 47 %.

Los precios de la solución nitrogenada han subido un 22 %, pasando de 330 a 440 euros por tonelada. Los agricultores temen un «accidente industrial» si los costes siguen aumentando.
