LINCOLN, Neb. (DTN) -- Five of eight average fertilizer prices show increases with anhydrous continuing to lead the way upward in the first week of November, according to sellers surveyed by DTN, although there were no significant price increases.

Anhydrous was 4% higher compared to last month at $843 per ton. DTN considers a price increase of 5% or higher as significant. Anhydrous was priced about $30/ton higher compared to one month ago.

Prices for four other fertilizers were up slightly from last month. DAP had an average price of $927 per ton, or about 2% higher. MAP was $931/ton, or about $10/ton more expensive compared to last month. The average price of potash was about 1% higher at $487/ton, while UAN32 came in just $1 higher at $466/ton.

Two fertilizers reported average price drops including UAN28 at $412/ton, down $7, and urea fell $11 to $598/ton. One fertilizer, 10-34-0 showed no change at $666/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.65/lb.N, anhydrous $0.51/lb.N, UAN28 $0.74/lb.N and UAN32 $0.73/lb.N.

A Swiss company plans to build a $1.5 billion climate-friendly fertilizer plant in central Washington state said it will continue with plans to build despite losing a federal subsidy from the Trump administration, according to a story in the Washington State Standard.

In October, the U.S. Department of Energy canceled funding for the Pacific Northwest hydrogen hub planned by Atlas Agro. Instead, the company said it plans to build the green fertilizer plant as well as a data center on site.

The fertilizer facility and data center are expected to be built on undeveloped 150 acres that once was federally owned buffer lands between Richland, Washington, and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, according to the publication.

The company likely will need to begin construction on the fertilizer plant by the end of 2027, according to the report, to qualify for federal tax credits. The plant is expected to take at least three years to build.

Prices for all eight fertilizers are now higher compared to one year ago.

Potash is now 9% higher, 10-34-0 is 10% more expensive, MAP is 15% higher, anhydrous and urea are both 20% more expensive, DAP is 26% higher, UAN32 is 28% more expensive and UAN28 is 30% higher.

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