Fertilizer: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $780.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $445.00 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For fertilizer, the drivers are capacity, material, outlet configuration, secondary containment, uv resistance, fitting size, level indication, nitrogen content — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published U.S.-facing wholesale fertilizer pricing clusters around roughly $600-$1,260 per short ton for common synthetic products such as urea, ammonium sulfate, MAP, potash, and NPK blends, with bagged retail/co-op quotes higher on a per-ton basis. The biggest price drivers are nutrient analysis (especially nitrogen and phosphorus), product form (granular, prilled, liquid), and whether the quote is bulk FOB distributor pricing or bagged/packaged pricing; freight and local availability can move the landed cost materially. Realistic supplier routes are domestic farm co-ops/distributors for bulk commodity grades and import/trade platforms for MOQ-based factory supply, but the latter often quotes in ton-sized lots rather than custom-printed consumer packaging.
