# Strategies help navigate shifting fertiliser prices - Grain Central

> Australian fertiliser spot urea is around A$800/t, up from roughly A$650/t last spring, with China's export ban until April supporting prices. Growers and resellers are working to manage volatility without holding large stocks in a falling market. Northern Queensland and New South Wales are most exposed to price swings because of mixed summer and winter cropping.
