# Fertiliser Prices Surging Despite Strong Exports – News – SSY

> Fertiliser prices have reached multi-year highs, with China halting exports to India and Chinese fertiliser shipments in July hitting decade-high levels. US NOLA urea peaked at $455/st in May before easing to $400/st in September, and DAP and potash prices were sharply higher year-on-year. Chinese DAP/MAP exports restarted in June, with July volumes at a three-year high of 1.3 Mt.
