Generic glyphosate (41% ai) is priced at $14–$20 per gallon in spring 2026. Prices have moderated from 2022 highs as Chinese generic production returned to market.
| Product | Price | vs. 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Glyphosate 41% generic | $14–$20/gal | -3% |
| Roundup PowerMAX branded | $22–$28/gal | Flat |
| Per acre at 22 oz rate | $1.75–$2.75/acre | -4% |
Glyphosate is one of the few inputs priced favorably right now. Buy season supply early; tariff changes on Chinese generics could spike prices mid-year.
China dominates global glyphosate API production; trade policy determines U.S. import costs.
U.S.-China tariff changes in 2025-2026 have added 10–25% landed cost variability on imported generics.
U.S. formulators set retail prices based on import API costs plus margin.
Glyphosate-resistant weeds reduce volume on some farms, partially limiting demand growth.
