I would never bother to make a post about some market prices rise, especially if it is just around 25%
Sulfur and ammonium nitrate are commonly combined in fertilizers.
Some examples of such fertilizers are:
UAN (urea and ammonium nitrate) + S. This is a liquid nitrogen fertilizer with sulfur that combines the positive qualities of three nitrogen fertilizers: ammonium nitrate, urea, and ammonium thiosulfate.
Ammonium nitrate enriched with sulfur. This is a mixture of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate (30% N, 6% S).
Fertilizers containing sulfur and ammonium nitrate are used in agriculture to provide plants with nitrogen and sulfur. They are applied in the pre-sowing phase or during the autumn vegetation for wheat and rapeseed.
Just to give you an example, Russia (I guess your country) just halted ammonium nitrate fertilizer exports to prioritize domestic farmers amid the ongoing Iran conflict. It's the supply & availability of sulfur that drives the price. And we're not looking at only 25% increase, that may be just just the start.

You just not aware. Every year, in spring and autumn, Russia stop (or noticeably limit) exports of fertilizers, diesel and other goods important for agriculture. To make domestic prices stable and prevent speculation so farmers and agriculture enterprises could do their job without uncertainity.
Russia have its own resources for all of that stuff, but greedy producers could prefer so called "foreign markets" over domestic needs, if prices on foreign markets will rise suddenly. To force producers care about domestic needs more than about foreign one, this export limitations set. Even if there is nothing happening on the foreign markets at all. They have nothing to do with any shortages or foreign market prices, they are about certainity. It is the guaranty, that whatever happen or not happen in the world, domestic agriculture will be supplied with all they need. Those sly producers, who tried to make a profit stopping production at the time of export limits and restart it when limits are off, quckly found out that such games with a state could end very bad. That is why we now have complete food soverenity back, after it was destroyed after USSR fall.
It is just a soverenity. When the country care more about itself than about some stupid "world market" where rich idiots speculate with paper fertilizer, paper oil and other virtual stuff.
Why US, who, I'm pretty sure have more than enough resources to produce any necessary amount of fertilizers, don't want to be a sovereign state and protect its own farmers at the important time?
US also could allow devaluation of its own currency to compensate higher prices on the market. Higher prices with higher wages works perfectly, just dollar become less worthy. It's even better for US with its $39B internal + ~$150B external debt problem. It is much easier to pay out enormous debt when currency, in which this debt accounted become cheaper. If a loaf of bread will cost $1B, than any US citizen will be able to pay this fucking debt without much problem.
Why the only option for US to try to keep prices for farmers at bay is a war somewhere on the other side of Earth and certainly about protection of fucking Israel to open what was not even closed until US start to protect Israel?
Fuck Israel, close exports, protect own farmers form external problems. Isn't that what US state was created for?

I was not aware of that. Looks like you're correct, according to the Logos Press Business Review "Russia suspended ammonium nitrate exports for a month. Exports will resume on April 21.".
According to Reuters "Russia, a major fertiliser exporter, lacks the capacity to boost production this year amid a global supply crunch caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz,".

It's not how U.S. operates, it behaves like any other empire. Imperialism is a system where one powerful nation conquers, controls and exploits several colonies, and this is exactly what U.S. does. An extension, or re-incarnation if you will, of the ancient Roman Empire. They will subsidize the farmers, but only if required for commodity markets manipulation. The US Government doesn't give a s*it about their own farmers.

I have a different take on this, and I'm pretty sure I'm in minority here. USA doesn't want to protect Israel any longer. Agreed, It did in the past, because it served the imperial interests... but, now it's time for the grand finale as far as Israel is concerned, IMO. In other words, the fake state of Israel has achieved its purpose and now must be destroyed. Nothing new really, something we were told a long time ago in 1871, by Albert Pike.
