# IFA Calls out Unjustified Yara Fertiliser Price Hikes - Irish Farmers' Association

> The Irish Farmers' Association criticised Yara's September and October nitrogen price increases on CAN and ammonium nitrate as unjustified. It called on the EU Commission to suspend anti-dumping duties on Russian ammonium nitrate and remove customs tariffs on non-EU fertilisers.

## Why it matters

Calls for tariff removal could eventually ease EU fertiliser costs, but near-term pressure from Yara's price increases keeps input costs elevated for EU feed producers.
