# EU fertilizer prices remain high amid costly gas and raw material supply disruptions

> European mineral fertilizer prices remained elevated in early November as high natural gas costs, logistical constraints and risks to raw-material supply raised production and procurement costs. Urea, DAP and potash were quoted at high levels in France and Germany, while sulfur prices above $1,000 per tonne and shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz added pressure to phosphate supplies.

## Why it matters

Higher gas costs raise nitrogen-fertilizer production costs, while constrained sulfur and phosphate inputs tighten availability; this supports fertilizer prices and increases crop input costs into spring 2027.
