OMAHA (DTN) -- Average retail prices for most fertilizers continued to be slightly higher during the second week of July 2025, according to sellers surveyed by DTN. However, for the third week in a row, prices for multiple fertilizers were also lower.

No fertilizer saw a substantial price move in either direction for the fifth week in a row. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

Six fertilizers were slightly higher in price from a month ago. DAP had an average price of $810 per ton, MAP $847/ton, potash $481/ton, urea $658/ton, 10-34-0 $672/ton and UAN32 $501/ton.

Two fertilizers were slightly lower in price than last month. Anhydrous had an average price of $769 per ton, and UAN28 was $417/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.72/lb.N, anhydrous $0.47/lb.N, UAN28 $0.75/lb.N and UAN32 $0.78/lb.N.

Brazil Potash has entered a nonbinding agreement with Fictor Energia for $200 million in funding for its potash mining project in Brazil, according to Dow Jones news service.

The mineral exploration and development company said Monday the funding covers the project's power transmission construction costs. In the agreement, Fictor Energia will undertake development, permitting, construction and operation of the power transmission infrastructure to supply 300 megawatts per year for the project, according to Brazil Potash.

Ownership of the power lines and its substation will be transferred to Brazil Potash after 25 years of operation. The power transmission infrastructure is expected to be completed and operational by July 2029, according to the company.

Seven fertilizers are now higher in price compared to one year earlier: MAP by 3%, 10-34-0 5%, DAP 7%, anhydrous 11%, UAN28 23%, UAN32 30% and urea by 32%.

The remaining fertilizer, potash, continues to be lower in price. It is 5% lower compared to last year.
