# Short-term uplift forecast for fertiliser prices by traders - Farmers Weekly

> UK fertiliser prices firmed slightly in the past week but remain roughly half their year-earlier levels. Traders attribute the rise to output cuts by some exporting countries and Red Sea shipping delays, with European nitrogen plants still halted. Ammonium nitrate offers for March and April are priced below current imports, so prices could ease later in spring.
