# Runaway fertilizer prices and ITC investigation on UAN solutions raise eyebrows | An official publication of Michigan Farm Bureau

> A Rabo Research report says the North American Fertilizer Index has risen about 15% since April and 120% over the past year, reaching its highest level for farmers in almost a decade. A US ITC investigation into anti-dumping and countervailing duties on UAN solutions from Russia and Trinidad and Tobago could push 2022 nitrogen prices higher.

## Why it matters

Tight potash, nitrogen and phosphate supplies and possible UAN duties point to higher fall fertilizer costs for farmers, with Rabo expecting a further 20% rise in inland potash markets before harvest ends.
