Alkagesta said it took part in the eighth International Conference “Fertilizers of Ukraine: Autumn 2026” in Lviv, where industry participants discussed Ukraine’s fertiliser market and its outlook for 2027. In its account of the event, the company highlighted pressures on imports, domestic production and logistics arising from war and disruption to supply chains.

The two-day programme brought together fertiliser producers, traders, distributors, agricultural businesses and logistics operators, according to Alkagesta. Discussions covered the industry’s current position alongside global and regional influences on prices. The company described the gathering as a leading forum for businesses involved in supplying Ukraine’s agricultural sector, although its report did not give attendance figures or set out specific forecasts for the coming year.

Elchin Aliyev, Alkagesta’s Regional Commodity Trader for Ukraine, represented the company at the conference. Alkagesta said he engaged with major agricultural holdings, fertiliser manufacturers, importers and distributors, as well as terminal operators and other market participants. Those contacts spanned both the commercial supply of fertilisers and the logistics operations involved in moving them through the market.

The company’s assessment pointed to a sharp year-on-year increase in import prices for key nitrogen products, while infrastructure disruption continued to constrain domestic production capacity. It did not identify individual products, quantify the price increases or provide figures for available production capacity. Alkagesta attributed the fertiliser supply shortfall to the war and associated supply-chain disruption.

Alkagesta used the conference report to present its own trading capabilities as relevant to those supply pressures. It argued that addressing the deficit requires access to established European supply networks and expertise across several commodities. The company said its regional operations combine petroleum products, biofuels and fertilisers, positioning that breadth and its European supply-chain connections as resources for serving the Ukrainian market.
