While ag chemical markets have seen disruptions over the past two years due to manufacturing shutdowns, logistics constraints and global trade disruptions, the 2023 growing season is showing potential signs of a stabilized market. 

Ag chemical markets have started to normalize in recent months making products more readily available to farmers at better prices. 

Our latest report, the 2023 Ag Chemical Price Transparency Report, was published by the FBN® Research Lab in order to help bring visibility into industry chemical prices on a national and local level.

Crowdsourcing Key Price Data from FBN Members

The report was compiled by collecting the valuable contributions of FBN farmers that submitted invoices detailing the specific ag chemicals they bought and the prices they paid. By crowdsourcing this data, our report showcases the true market pricing faced by farmers. 

To provide clarity on national pricing information to our members, we aggregated chemical invoices and price quotes submitted by FBN members based on transactions made between October 2021 and February 2023, a 17-month time period of extreme variability in market conditions. 

FBN received over 3,000 unique pricing data points, representing 37 states and over 800 insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides. This report outlines the pricing variations observed on some common ag chemicals. These prices do not include rebates.

By collecting, anonymizing, aggregating, and reporting back to our FBN members, we believe this helps change the power paradigm and provide key leverage for farmers’ to negotiate with their ag retailers and get a fair price. Indeed, economic competition is built on price transparency and it is this view which serves as a pillar of our work.
