# Phosphate Prices Hit Highest Level Since 2012, As Nitrogen Prices Also Climb - AgWeb

> Rabobank's North American Agribusiness Review reports phosphate prices at their highest level in North America since 2012. Nitrogen prices are also climbing, partly due to the Texas freeze, which forced some fertilizer plants to shift natural gas to heating or shut down. Industry experts expect higher fertilizer prices to last through spring.
