# Prices of Most Fertilizers Continue Rise, as Wheat Prices Climb on Supply Concerns | Farm Policy News | Illinois

> Retail fertilizer prices rose in April 2022, with anhydrous and UAN32 at all-time highs and MAP near its record. The AMIS Market Monitor attributed the increases to Russia's large role in nitrogen exports and supply shortages in western Europe. Reuters reported that sanctions on Belarus and Russia and Chinese export curbs were lifting crop nutrient prices, and wheat also climbed on supply concerns.
