   OMAHA (DTN) -- Average retail fertilizer prices continued to be mostly 
higher during the second week of November 2025, according to sellers surveyed 
by DTN.

   Prices for six fertilizers were higher once again, while prices for the 
other two were slightly lower. No fertilizer had a sizeable price move, which 
DTN designates as anything 5% or more.

   The six nutrients that were higher in price: DAP, which had an average price 
of $929/ton; potash $490/ton; urea $597/ton; 10-34-0 $667/ton; anhydrous 
$857/ton; and UAN28 $416/ton.

   Two fertilizers were slightly lower looking back to the prior month. MAP had 
an average price of $930/ton, and UAN32 was $465/ton.

   On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was 
$0.65/lb.N, anhydrous $0.52/lb.N, UAN28 $0.74/lb.N and UAN32 $0.73/lb.N.

   President Donald Trump's executive order last week to amend the scope of 
reciprocal tariffs, which will remove duties on critical fertilizers, was met 
with thanks from farm organizations. Farm production and input costs continue 
to strain farm margins, and ensuring certain products are not affected by 
tariffs will reduce the cost of key fertilizers, according to news release from 
the American Soybean Association (ASA).

   Executive Order 14257 amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
State by adding diammonium and monoammonium phosphates (DAP and MAP) as well as 
potassium chloride (potash) to the annex of products not subject to tariff 
duties.

   "Soybean farmers are currently making difficult financial decisions as they 
plan for next year's planting after a harvest season full of challenges," Caleb 
Ragland, ASA president and Kentucky soybean farmer, said.

   "Today's action by President Trump will help lower costs for one key 
component of soybean production. U.S. soybean farmers are grateful that the 
administration has acted to ensure DAP, MAP and potash will no longer face 
import duties."

   All eight fertilizers are now higher in price compared to a year earlier: 
10-34-0 by 10%; potash 11%; MAP 15%; urea 20%; anhydrous 21%; DAP 26%; UAN32 
28%; and UAN28 up 29%.

   DTN gathers fertilizer price bids from agriculture retailers each week to 
compile the DTN Fertilizer Index. DTN first began reporting data in November 
2008.
