Six Fertilizers Lead Nutrient Prices Higher

OMAHA (DTN) — Retail fertilizer prices tracked by DTN for the third week of November 2025 continue to show mostly increased levels.

For the second week in a row, six fertilizers logged higher prices, while the other two were slightly lower. No fertilizers posted significant price moves. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

The six nutrients with higher prices are DAP, which had an average price of $928/ton; potash $490/ton; 10-34-0 $667/ton; anhydrous $862/ton; UAN28 $417/ton; UAN32 $466/ton.

Two fertilizers listed slightly lower prices looking back to the prior month. MAP had an average price of $926/ton and urea $594/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.65/lb.N, anhydrous $0.53/lb.N, UAN28 $0.74/lb.N and UAN32 $0.73/lb.N.

Nutrien has set plans in motion to build a $1 billion fertilizer export terminal at Washington State’s Port of Longview, according to an article in the Financial Post.

Nutrien, the world’s largest producer of potash, said it needs a new export terminal to meet the growing demand for potash. The company views the Washington state location as a more efficient route to potash markets in China, Japan and India.

Pending a final investment decision, the company expects to finalize plans for the Longview terminal in 2027 and complete construction by 2031.

All eight fertilizers are now higher in price compared to one year earlier.

10-34-0 is 9% higher, potash is 11% more expensive, MAP is 14% higher, urea is 19% more expensive, anhydrous is 20% higher, DAP is 25% more expensive, UAN32 is 28% higher and UAN28 is 29% more expensive looking back to last year.
