US caustic potash prices rose 4.2% in the week ending March 27, 2026, compared with early March. Drivers cited were the Iran war, higher energy and shipping costs, and strong demand ahead of the April-May planting window.
Analysts expect a stable near-term trend with upside if the war escalates.
Caustic potash is an industrial chemical rather than the fertilizer grade, so the link to feed costs is indirect. The price rise signals broader chemical and energy cost pressure that can feed into fertilizer input costs.
