Indexing fertilizer prices in Russia not under discussion - Federal Anti-monopoly Service

MOSCOW. Oct 22 (Interfax) - Price indexing of fertilizer for Russia's domestic market is not currently under discussion, the Federal Anti-monopoly Service (FAS) told Interfax.

"Russian Government Resolution No. 1610 of October 16, 2025, restricts the export of specific types of mineral fertilizers from December 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. Price indexation for fertilizers during this period is not currently under discussion," the FAS said.

Andrei Guryev, CEO of the Russian Fertilizer Producers Association (RAPU), said that industry participants would again request the authorities to index domestic prices in line with inflation in the autumn.

Prices for nitrogen and complex fertilizers for Russian farmers were frozen in July 2021 amid strong growth in foreign markets. Price caps were indexed in June and September 2022 with no subsequent indexation In accordance with FAS recommendations.

The measure to fix fertilizer prices for the domestic market, along with export quotas, was extended once again until December in May 2025

The Russian government last week extended mineral fertilizer export quotas from December 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. The total export quota will be nearly 18.7 million tonnes, including over 10.6 million tonnes for nitrogen fertilizers and over 8 million tonnes for complex fertilizers.
