France to Invest €2 Billion in 3 Fertilizer Plants as Iran War Disrupts Farmers

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 9

France said it will spend €2 billion to build three fertilizer plants over the next decade, aiming to reduce import dependence and protect farmers from future supply shocks.
Three new plants are central to the plan because France wants to curb costly fertilizer imports that leave its farm sector exposed to external disruptions.
€145 million will also be deployed under a separate emergency package for farmers already hit by disruptions linked to the Iran war.
The move ties long-term industrial policy to immediate farm support, as Paris tries to strengthen food-input security against geopolitical shocks.
