Farm Progress explains that US fertilizer prices have reached record levels, with DAP, MAP, potash and urea near or above $800 per ton at end-December 2021. The article attributes the rise mainly to high coal and natural gas costs, plus China's phosphate export restrictions and US tariffs on imports.
Sustained high phosphate, potash and nitrogen costs raise the cost of crop production for US farmers, which can affect acreage decisions and feed grain supply.
