Freshdi Market Insight
Know the Fertilizer market before you buy

The typical range is USD 217 - 304 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 257 median, which means buyers should compare grades and origins within that band. Buyer inquiries increased 3.8% to 27 over the last 30 days. More buyers request FOB than suppliers offer it — a 10.4 percentage point gap — so a FOB price must be explicitly asked for.

Fertilizer drew 27 buyer inquiries on Freshdi in the 30 days to 14 November 2026, up 3.8% from the previous 30 days.
199 suppliers are actively offering Fertilizer on the platform, with 29 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This level of activity means suppliers are responsive to market needs, and buyers can expect fresh pricing and availability updates rather than relying on static, outdated information. The consistent turnover suggests a dynamic supply chain where new offers emerge regularly, giving buyers more flexibility in negotiations. 934 active listings are currently available, covering a wide range of types, grades, and packaging options. This depth ensures that even niche requirements—like specific nutrient ratios or regional compliance standards—are likely to be met without needing to start from scratch. The volume also implies that suppliers are actively managing inventory and responding to demand, which helps buyers find a close match quickly. Fertilizer is sourced from 49 countries, offering broad geographic diversity. This wide reach means buyers can compare supply chains, logistics costs, and regulatory environments across regions, giving them significant flexibility to choose based on cost, delivery time, or quality preferences. It also reduces reliance on any single market, which is especially valuable in volatile agricultural supply chains. 27 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a 3.8% increase compared to the previous period. While the rise is modest, it signals sustained interest in the category, especially given the large number of suppliers. This steady demand means buyers can act with confidence that their inquiries are timely and that suppliers are likely to respond promptly.

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 1 November 2026 - 934 active listings, 206 buyer requests, 55 source documents, and 423 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.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

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.
