# Will fertiliser prices fall in the middle of this month?

> The Vietnam Fertiliser Association says fertiliser prices rose 25-30% recently due to higher oil and input costs, container shortages that lifted freight more than 100% on some routes, and Chinese export curbs. Two urea plants are set to resume operations, which could ease prices mid-month.

## Why it matters

Chinese export restrictions and freight costs keep urea and DAP tight globally; resumed Vietnamese urea output may ease local prices but global supply stays constrained.
