OMAHA (DTN) -- Average retail fertilizer prices were mostly lower the second week of June 2026 compared to a month earlier, according to sellers surveyed by DTN. The last time most nutrient prices were lower was the first week of February 2026.

Prices for five fertilizers were lower compared to last month, while prices for the remaining three fertilizers were slightly higher. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

Leading the nutrients lower was urea. The nitrogen fertilizer's price was 12% lower than a month ago, at $764 per ton.

UAN32 was 5% less expensive than the previous month. The nitrogen fertilizer had an average price of $569/ton.

The remaining three fertilizers were just slightly less expensive than a month ago: DAP had an average price of $909/ton, anhydrous $1,092/ton and UAN28 $531/ton.

Three fertilizers were slightly more expensive compared to last month: MAP had an average price of $955/ton, potash $494/ton and 10-34-0 $723/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.83/lb.N, anhydrous $0.67/lb.N, UAN28 $0.95/lb.N and UAN32 $0.89/lb.N.

The United States exported a record amount of urea to Canada in April 2026, boosted by first-quarter production outages and spring maintenance at Canadian plants, according to an article in worldfertilizer.com (https://www.worldfertilizer.com/…). U.S. urea exports to Canada in April rose to 144,619 tons, which is 99,086 tons higher than the five-year average for April, and were the highest for any month in records dating to 2008, according to Argus Media.

Canada's pull on U.S. supplies stems from production downtime in the winter across multiple nitrogen plants when Canada already had limited supplies carried over from the previous fertilizer season.

"The U.S. has generally been a net importer from Canada, with the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 fertilizer years -- which run from July through June -- being an exception," the report stated. "The U.S. appears to be on its way to another year as a net exporter to Canada in 2025-2026 year as well."

All eight fertilizers are now higher in price compared to one year earlier: Potash (by 4%), 10-34-0 (8%), DAP (13%), both MAP and UAN32 (15%), urea (16%), UAN32 (27%) and anhydrous (41%).

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