Hungarian data from 23 major suppliers show fertilizer sales volume fell by nearly one-third in July–September 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier, while prices were generally 4–15% higher. Farmers also bought 25% less of the monitored crop-protection products year over year; prices varied by product, with many fungicides higher and several herbicides and insecticides lower.
Lower fertilizer sales point to weaker farm demand, while generally higher year-over-year prices could raise crop-production costs. The report gives mixed price signals across fertilizer types, with no clear broad directional move.
