Amid strong attendance, active engagement, and insightful discussions between participants and speakers, the second day of the economic workshop organized by the Arab Fertilizer Association (AFA) in Istanbul, Türkiye, continues to deliver valuable market insights. Today's sessions focus on developments in natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and nitrogen fertilizer markets, as well as shipping, logistics, and supply chain resilience.

Experts from S&P Global Commodity Insights are presenting both short- and long-term outlooks for natural gas and LNG markets, examining the impact of supply shifts on Asian and European markets and pricing dynamics. Discussions also address the economics and global competitiveness of nitrogen fertilizer production, including the implications of carbon costs and the industry's transition toward lower-emission production pathways.

The workshop will continue through 7 October 2026, bringing together leading experts and industry specialists to discuss the latest economic, market, and logistics developments shaping the fertilizer industry, while exploring key insights and forecasts for the future of global markets, trade flows, and supply chains.

The program will continue tomorrow with the workshop's third day, featuring further discussions on fertilizer and energy market developments, as well as regulatory changes and emerging opportunities in low-carbon ammonia and fertilizer markets
