DTN Retail Fertilizer Trends

OMAHA (DTN) -- Retail fertilizer prices continue to move generally lower, according to sellers tracked by DTN for the last week of June 2026. This is the third consecutive week of mostly lower prices.

Six fertilizers were lower compared to last month, while the remaining two were slightly higher. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

Leading the nutrients lower were urea and the UAN fertilizers. Urea was 13% less expensive with an average price of $720/ton. UAN32 was 9% lower compared to last month and had an average price of $534/ton, while UAN28 was 5% less expensive with an average price of $506/ton.

The remaining three fertilizers were just slightly less expensive looking back a month. DAP had an average price of $910/ton, potash $494/ton and anhydrous $1,076/ton.

Two fertilizers were slightly more expensive compared to last month. MAP had an average price of $954/ton, while 10-34-0 is $725/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.78/lb.N, anhydrous $0.66/lb.N, UAN28 $0.90/lb.N and UAN32 $0.83/lb.N.

The big fertilizer news of the week was President Donald Trump announcing a suspension of import tariffs on Moroccan phosphorus fertilizer. A recent Texas A&M study showed these tariffs increased fertilizer costs for U.S. farmers by $6.9 billion from 2021 to 2025.

In his Media Update, Josh Linville, vice president of fertilizer for StoneX, said he had mixed feelings on this topic.

Linville said this was a step forward for free trade. U.S. and North American farmers have been suffering from a lack of phosphate import options. This move helps return one of our recent historical suppliers of phosphate, he said.

"I'm bitter at the fact that he is just doing this," Linville wrote. "If he had this capacity, why is he waiting until today to do it? Why not last summer when North American phosphate values were some of the highest in the world due to a lack of supply?"

Linville said he is cautious about the effect this move will have on phosphorus fertilizer prices. The market expectation is that values might fall, and he hopes they do fall, he wrote.

However, NOLA DAP is already the cheapest major price point in the world. From an economic point of view, there is very little reason for anyone to send phosphate here unless they have no other options.

"Economically, this should change very little to nothing," he wrote. "However, no market is ever fully dictated by the strict supply and demand. This move very well could have values falling, which would be a huge benefit to farmers who are considering fall programs."

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

Potash is 3% higher, UAN32 is 7% more expensive, 10-34-0 is 8% higher, urea is 10% more expensive, DAP is 12% higher, MAP is 13% more expensive, UAN28 is 23% higher and anhydrous is 40% more expensive, looking back to last year.
