# Fertilizer market: Prioritizing domestic supply

> Vietnamese fertilizer prices remain high, with urea at 610,000-650,000 VND per bag and DAP at 840,000-1,300,000 VND per bag. Prices have climbed for six months due to higher energy, raw material and logistics costs, while rice prices in the Mekong Delta have fallen.
