# Fertiliser market price rise: wait or buy now?

> Yara says fertilizer prices are rising across nitrogen, phosphate and potassium products. It attributes the increases to higher gas and sulphuric and phosphoric acid costs, container shortages and a long-running raw material shortage. It also cites high grain prices, a late cold spring in Western Europe, and drought in North America.
