# EU decision on Russian ammonium nitrate 'puts higher costs on farmers' - IFA - Agriland.ie

> The European Commission extended anti-dumping measures on Russian ammonium nitrate for five years, to 2025. Russian product already faces a 6.5% customs duty plus an additional €32.71 per tonne, and the IFA says the measure will cost European farmers up to €3 billion.

## Why it matters

Continued duties keep Russian nitrogen out of the EU market, leaving European nitrogen supply less competitive and supporting higher fertilizer costs for EU farmers. The impact on global nitrogen prices is limited.
