Fertilizer Prices Trending Higher in 2025

Rising global fertilizer prices are straining farmers’ budgets and shifting the market toward reduced affordability, especially for nitrogen and phosphate products. Although demand remains steady in many regions, market activity is slowing due to low inventories and cautious buying. Export restrictions from China are tightening supply but may ease later in the year. Meanwhile, trade tensions and tariffs are contributing to higher U.S. fertilizer prices. Commodity markets remain volatile, with corn prices showing strength and soybeans facing downward pressure.
