Rabobank's Global Fertilizer Outlook 'Swamped with Supply' says fertilizer prices fell considerably in 2019 because of abundant supply and weak demand. It expects a demand rebound and supply constraints from environmental reforms and weather to support prices.
It forecasts weak N, P and K pricing in the U.S. through Q2 2020 and lower EU demand.
Oversupply and heavy channel inventories point to continued weak fertilizer prices in the near term. A later demand rebound and supply curbs could lift prices, but this is likely a 2020 story.
