The CO2 ain’t a waste product though, the govt sub to CF was so that they would resume production of CO2 not produce fertiliser for farmers

A sustained ‘no bread on the shelves’ situation next year would see Boris Johnson resign. Hungry and worried people are angry people, and we’ve learned just how disruptive panic buying can be to the market.
Either he’s discretely ‘managing the situation’ with a plan up his sleeve, or he’s oblivious to the problem. If it’s the latter and he thinks ‘the free market will sort it out’ then he’s toast.
It’s like a car crash, slowed down over 9 months. We can see it, but we can’t stop it. The government and the press are blind and deaf to it. I’m off to bulk buy bog roll and padlocks. Lots of padlocks.
Padlocks not much use here just smash them off.

Egypt has just traded at $700 fob. With the exchange rate where it is, that's over £600/t delivered. £575/t is a good price today. Simply not enough N available across the globe.
Quaintly putAre you having a big dump lock in !
I think I’ll try and corner the market in buckets, as they’ll be the next panic buy. It’s going to be the only way we’re going to put fertility into fields and allotments, just like they do in Korea and China.
Might have to be creative to get the NVZ records past RT

Only thing is would it not still pay better to sow it and have a decent crop than sow nought and be down a ton or 2?
Good point, the fertiliser value from chopping will be significantly higher. That’ll upset @gone up the hill whospends all his time talking straw prices down
If it stays like this there’s a big reality check coming.Just less growth regulators
Maybe this is a reset. I recon Russia and China have sat round the table. Played a blinder. Russia cuts the gas supply. While China says ok we’ll stop exporting urea. Farmers average yield is 6 tonne hectare in the Uk but we get triple the price. Climate is sorted and the regenerative farmers are happy because there the one who have looked after there soils.

The opposite. I'll be putting more on to get the fert into £190/t wheat rather than £50/t straw.
Surging gas prices likely to reverse course
It would take a longer and colder winter than last year to see market pricing sustained above current levels

This is pretty much my thinking too.
It will reset, but when?
At some point buyers will stop/reduce, production will outstrip supply and gas will reduce in price.
This is yet another cost of COVID-19 interruptions.
