Freshdi Market Insight
Know the Fertilizer market before you buy
India (13.4%), South Africa (7.9%) and China (7.4%) are the top supplier countries among 202 Fertilizer suppliers, spread across 48 countries, so sourcing options remain broad but concentrated in a few key regions. The typical range is USD 160 - 255 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 247 median, which means buyers should expect variation and verify pricing by origin and grade. Buyer inquiries increased 25% to 15 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 27.2 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for in most cases.

202 suppliers are actively offering Fertilizer on the platform, with 31 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement — suppliers are not just listing once and leaving, but actively refreshing their offers, which means buyers can expect current pricing, availability, and terms. That level of activity helps reduce the risk of outdated or stale information when making a decision. There are 936 active listings, covering a wide range of types, grades, and packaging options. This depth means buyers can quickly find a product that matches their specific agricultural needs — whether it's for crops, soil type, or regional climate — without having to start from scratch with a custom request. Fertilizer suppliers come from 48 countries, offering a broad global footprint. This diversity gives buyers significant flexibility in sourcing — they can compare options based on cost, logistics, regulatory compliance, or regional supply stability, rather than being limited to a few dominant regions. Buyer inquiries increased by 25% to 15 over the last 30 days, signaling rising interest in the category. With such a surge in demand and a solid base of active suppliers, buyers should act promptly — the current level of interest may lead to faster fulfillment times or tighter availability in the coming weeks.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Fertilizer listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 8 November 2026 - 936 active listings, 215 buyer requests, 71 source documents, and 533 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Fertilizer type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Fertilizer, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
