South African retail fertilizer prices fell about 2.3% week-on-week to 12 October, with urea granular at R8,833 and MAP at R10,958. Nitrogen markets stayed quiet despite Middle East events, and Brazilian urea offers at $395/t were rejected.
Mississippi River closure was expected to halt US fertilizer demand.
Stable to slightly lower nutrient prices reduce input-cost pressure on local feed and crop producers, though the Middle East remains a risk.
