Fertilizer stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that produce, distribute or market fertilizers used in agriculture to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. Investors track these stocks to gain exposure to trends in global food demand, commodity prices (such as natural gas and phosphate rock) and agricultural policies. Because fertilizer companies often benefit from rising crop prices and constrained supply, their stocks can serve as both cyclical and defensive plays within equity portfolios.
