I continue analyzing the affordability of fertilizers by comparing month-to-month trends in fertilizer and agricultural commodity prices.

The market witnessing declining corn and wheat prices, driven by trade tensions and tariffs imposed on U.S. agricultural exports.

The overall trend suggests that fertilizer costs have risen slightly, impacting affordability, especially for wheat producers.

Earnings drop as agribusiness cooperative faces lower grain prices and refined fuel margins.

The Des Moines facility, responsible for processing about 12% of Iowa’s monthly soybean crush, will be idle from mid-October through November for maintenance. The closure is expected to tighten soymeal supplies, causing prices to reach a decade high and impacting revenue for farmers amid low crop prices.

When we need to compare the costs of fertilizers with the prices of the finished agricultural product, the best solution is to look at affordability indexes. As we know, numbers don’t lie.

The age-old question of the egg and the chicken: do fertilizers react to agricultural commodities prices or vice versa? I am certain that there are two sides to the same coin, and let’s try to follow this trend.

Many Indonesians, who rely on rice as their primary food source, are facing difficulties due to the price surge. The government has responded by offering subsidized rice, importing rice, and implementing technology-based solutions such as drought-resistant seeds and infrastructure improvements.

Tensions remain high as tens of thousands of Indian farmers demand financial support from the government.

Thousands of Indian farmers have been marching on New Delhi from Haryana and Punjab, demanding guaranteed crop prices.
