Fertiliser Price Tracker

Offered Urea at £225/ton today. Dropped £50/ton since early Autumn?
Pulan at £235/ton.
Normal nonsense, prices about to rise, loads buying etc.

Are those right? UREA is trading around the £245 mark (give or take a couple quid) and Imported AN is around the £220-£225 mark currently. I predict there will be some adjustment on the import's since C.F have come down. Replacement value on UREA is up today so please share where this UREA at £225 is from! Not sure on your supplier saying prices about to Rise when C.F cut their prices.. o_O

That's what I was quoted this afternoon. Rep was from a company we haven't bought from in years. Sadly we bought our requirements in the Autumn.

talk earlier this week with a fert rep the above are a tad dear,but maybe affected by delivery payment date etc ,his advice was take some and hang fire till later in the month ,interestingly when I enquired about a split load of straight N and a NPKno difference in price /ton re part load. The phrase january delivery discount was mentioned.
Ive not ordered and am going to hang fire another week and then see

Anybody else feeling they have been furked.?
A deals a deal, I get that.
But no option to cancel early orders when events suggest it will not be needed, and then the buggers drop the price £20 as you are taking delivery.

I think the fertiliser companies need to remember that they need the early buyers of fertiliser to get the product on to farms sometimes a year or more before it's required as they haven't got the storage or delivery capacity to keep all their customers requirements themselves.
In the past early buyers got a rebate if the price fell below what they had bought at.
Going to be a lot of pi55ed off people this year.

Expect the "property of the seller until paid in full" clauses to be carefully looked at next year.

My urea still looks cheap, but might not in a month's time. Or it might do.

Think my ond 19 pool wheat is starting to look like the poorest decision mind you.

Nope. I wouldn't like it if, having sold crop to merchant, they ring up in 6 weeks and complain about the price they had to pay for it when the market drops.
Works both ways. Do a deal if its good on the day. Then move on. Less stressful. ?

I cancelled mine a few weeks ago, but prices where still similar so no loss to anyone.

The Lithan sat in my shed is due to have half paid at the end of this month, and half at the end of Feb. Could I ask them to fetch it back do you think?

I agreed the deal at the time, so nobody's fault but mine.

Agree 100%.
My annoyance is at CF having issuing early prices saying that would be the best price, blah, blah..
and then dropping the price £20 just as pay Jan tonnage comes payable.
