DTN Retail Fertilizer Trends
Average Retail Prices for Five Fertilizers Continue to Climb
OMAHA (DTN) -- Most average retail fertilizer prices continued to be higher than last month during the third week of July 2025, according to sellers surveyed by DTN. Once again, however, prices of several fertilizers were lower.
For the fifth week in a row, no fertilizer saw a significant price move, which DTN designates as anything 5% or more.
Five fertilizers had slightly higher prices than the previous month. DAP had an average price of $811 per ton, MAP $847/ton, potash $481/ton, 10-34-0 $672/ton and UAN32 $499/ton.
Three fertilizers were slightly lower in price than the prior month: Urea had an average price of $654/ton, anhydrous $769/ton and UAN28 $417/ton.
On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.71/lb.N, anhydrous $0.47/lb.N, UAN28 $0.74/lb.N and UAN32 $0.78/lb.N.

An expansion at a Canadian potash facility will cost more than anticipated and will also be delayed, according to an article in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix newspaper.
The BHP Group Limited Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan will now cost from $7 billion to $7.4 billion, up from earlier estimates of $5.7 billion. The company is also pushing back its estimate for first production from the mine to mid-2027 from the earlier expectation of the end of 2026.
BHP blamed the increased costs on inflationary pressure, design development and scope changes and lower-than-expected productivity.
Seven fertilizers are now higher in price compared to one year earlier: MAP by 3%, 10-34-0 and DAP by 5%, anhydrous 11%, UAN28 23%, urea 29% and UAN32 by 33%.
Potash, the remaining fertilizer, continues to be lower in price by 5% compared to last year.
DTN gathers fertilizer price bids from agriculture retailers each week to compile the DTN Fertilizer Index. DTN first began reporting data in November 2008.
