# Fertilizer market: nitrogen prices continue to rise, phosphorus prices hold steady and potash prices erode

> French fertilizer distributors expect 2026–27 deliveries to fall 8% for nitrogen, 20% for potash and 50–60% for phosphorus, as farmers’ cash constraints lead them to prioritize nitrogen over base applications. Current fertilizer demand is quiet during autumn fieldwork, while stocks of urea and nitrogen solutions are accumulating at import terminals and in warehouses. French physical-market nitrogen fertilizer prices rose by €5–10 per tonne in October; phosphorus prices were steady and potash prices declined.

## Why it matters

Weak farm finances are expected to curb fertilizer demand, especially for phosphorus and potash, putting downward pressure on those markets. Nitrogen prices have risen despite subdued buying, though accumulating stocks could limit further gains.
