# October Fertilizer Prices Rise Across Most Nutrients Amid Higher Costs in Brazil Compared to U.S.

> DTN tracked seven of eight key US fertilizer prices rising month over month in October, led by UAN28 up 4% and anhydrous up 3% to $1,007 per ton, while urea fell 2%. Purdue research found Brazilian farms spend about $85 per acre on fertilizer versus $57 in the US, and all eight products are higher year over year.

## Why it matters
