Fertilizer prices have fallen to their lowest level in more than a decade, according to economist David Widmer, even as USDA expects the second-largest US corn crop on record. DAP and MAP prices are down about 21% year over year, near $400 per ton, while urea has dropped only 2% to $388 per ton.
Cheaper phosphate and nitrogen lower grain production costs and may support planted acreage, a modest bearish signal for fertilizer prices and a supportive backdrop for corn supply.
