This product summarizes fertilizer consumption in the United States by plant nutrient and major fertilizer products—as well as consumption of mixed fertilizers, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients—for 1960 through the latest year for which statistics are available. The share of planted crop acreage receiving fertilizer, and fertilizer applications per receiving acre (by nutrient), are presented for major producing States for corn, cotton, soybeans, and wheat (data on nutrient consumption by crop start in 1964). Fertilizer farm prices and indices of wholesale fertilizer prices are also available.
Global fertilizer prices experienced significant volatility in 2022, with diammonium phosphate (DAP) reaching a peak of *** U.S. dollars per metric ton in April before declining to *** U.S. dollars by December. In the lead up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, urea fertilizer prices more than doubled from September to November 2021.
During the course of 2023, phosphate rock demonstrated a progressive rise, maintaining a peak of 347 U.S. dollars per metric ton in September and October, before experiencing a considerable downturn to a price of 152.5 U.S. dollars per metric ton in 2024
This dataset includes monthly prices measured in dollars per ton (except Tampa ammonia) by region.
Fertilizer commodities include urea, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and potash. UAN prices assume a 32 percent nitrogen content. Tampa ammonia prices are quoted CFR (i.e., includes transportation to the destination port) per metric ton.
Regional Definitions are available from Green Markets (https://fertilizerpricing.com/about/pricing-notations/).

We compiled fertilizer price data for eighteen countries in West and East Africa from two data sources: (1) Africa Fertilizer (Africa Fertilizer, 2018) and (2) the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (henceforth LSMS-ISA) (World Bank, 2018). Africa Fertilizer reports prices over time for major towns in different countries. Prices are for 25 kg or 50 kg bags and expressed in the national currency. We compiled 7823 observations for 878 locations in seventeen countries: Benin, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia from 2010-2018. We used the town name to assign geographic coordinates to each location. Africa Fertilizer reported non-subsidized and subsidized prices for several countries. LSMS-ISA is a nationally representative multi-topic household survey implemented in eight countries in SSA: Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda (World Bank, 2018).
This table contains conversions for fertilizer prices. The table can be combined with other datasets in this data asset using the 'ferttype' column. The purpose of collecting these data was to examine farm expansion and labor markets in rural Tanzania. Data were collected in 8 rural districts of Tanzania: Mvomero, Kilombero, Njombe, Kiteto, Magu, Moshi Rural, Mkuranga and Liwale. The data were collected through the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy (FSP).
During this period, one could observe a sharp increase in wholesale prices of nitrogen fertilizers in Poland between January 2022 and December 2022. For example, the price of urea increased from 2760 zloty in January 2022 to 3660 zloty in December 2022. However, the prices have stabilized in 2023, recording a significant decrease in March 2023. The increase influenced the change in fertilizer prices in energy prices, including gas, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The global fertilizer prices are influenced by a variety of factors, including supply and demand dynamics, production costs, political and economic conditions, and market speculation. Fertilizers are essential agricultural inputs that provide essential nutrients to soil and crops, improving yield and crop quality.
The growth rate of fertilizer prices peaked in the fourth quarter of 2021 in Hungary over the observed time. During this quarter, fertilizer prices were *** times as high as in the last quarter of 2020.

This dataset includes price spreads (Cornbelt price minus New Orleans, LA price) measured in dollars per ton. New Orleans is a key fertilizer-pricing hub, and the Cornbelt is a large user of fertilizer due to the region's substantial row crop production. The price spread (Cornbelt minus New Orleans) can reflect transportation costs and other local supply and demand factors.
Fertilizer commodities include urea, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and potash. UAN prices assume a 32 percent nitrogen content. Cornbelt states include Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska.

Fertilizer prices continue to ramp up due to a shortage in supply caused by lower output in EU countries. High natural gas costs shape that growth because gas accounts for up to 80% of variable costs in nitrogen fertilizer production. Urea prices spiked exceptionally high to $900 per ton in November 2021, gaining 30% against the previous month. Phosphate rock price rose by 4%, while diammonium phosphate and triple superphosphate were both up by 8%. Next year, fertilizer prices are projected to climb further due to a continued shortage in supply, but if costs for natural gas maintain their downward trend, they will hold the price increases back.
