The World Bank is projecting continued declines in fertilizer costs through 2024. The bank's latest commodity markets forecast says, "Following an expected 37 percent decrease in 2023, the fertilizer price index is projected to fall by 7 percent in 2024 as supply disruptions gradually ease and energy input prices fall, but the index will remain at high levels."
