# Fertilizer Market Faces Tight Supplies, Confusing Fundamentals - RFD-TV

> Global nitrogen and phosphate prices remained high in early November 2025 despite improving supply data. India's urea tender secured only 430,000 tons against a two-million-ton goal, and China's export window remained closed while its phosphate export approvals expired on October 15. Strong fall ammonia demand in North America also kept supplies tight.
