# Itafos predicts high prices for phosphorus fertilizers — Fertilizer Daily

> Itafos expects high phosphorus fertiliser prices in 2022 due to stalled production investment and China's export suspension through at least June 2022. Sulfur and ammonia prices are also expected to stay high because of strong demand and natural gas-driven plant shutdowns.
