For powdered potassium fertilizer, brands like Canada and Ha Anh maintain stable prices, ranging from 500,000 to 550,000 VND per bag.
The stable fertilizer prices in the North are attributed to the fact that demand for fertilizers has not yet increased significantly, as the northern provinces are just beginning to prepare for the summer-autumn crop. Meanwhile, in the South, especially in the Central Highlands and Southeast regions, the peak season for tending coffee, pepper, and cashew trees is underway, leading to higher fertilizer demand and consequently a slight increase in prices.
Fertilizer price forecast
Many dealers and traders predict that fertilizer prices may increase slightly in April due to peak domestic demand. However, the extent of the increase will depend heavily on global fertilizer price trends, transportation costs, and raw material import policies.
Currently, the price of imported fertilizers remains high due to ongoing logistics costs and rising energy prices, which could continue to put pressure on domestic prices in the near future.
