# High fertilizer prices likely to climb more - Grainews

> Fertilizer prices resumed climbing in February 2021 after a brief dip, with urea up $100 per tonne and DAP at New Orleans up $145 per tonne since early January. Strong crop prices and China limiting its fertilizer exports to protect domestic supply tightened global markets. US import duties on Moroccan and Russian phosphate further reduced North American supply.
