Fertiliser Price Tracker

If we all rebelled and didn't buy then they would have to lower prices to move it???!!!!

They will just export it instead.

Yea, but probably not quite as simple as that, I would imagine other markets are equally as reluctant to buy as we are at current prices.
As someone said earlier, depends on who blinks first, if farmers elsewhere are more prepared to buy than we are, then they can export it.

Which is entirely the vendors problem. It needs to not become your problem.

It is, and they kindly offered to let me cancel it (Nitram bought at £298). I’ve had a small amount of CAN delivered that I need for the Autumn, then the full load can come any time before the Spring. Payment not due until the month following delivery, so I’ll not push for a while.

When it hits £400/t I can feel smug that I ‘only’ paid £298 for it.

The fact is, we need it more than they need to drop the price.

So let’s say come February the situation is still some sort of stalemate with hardly anyone buying. We all know that without fertilizer, and particularly nitrogen then our crops ain’t going to be viable. So even at £400 a tonne it will have to be bought.
Problem by then is deliveries will be unlikely to keep up with demand, so we will be stuffed both ways? Discuss.

Seems a fair assessment to me.

 

[Chae1]

Yet my ‘August delivery’ load of AN is still a way off as supposedly the supply isn’t there.

Getting quotes on Thursday they all wanted September delivery.

If I plant wheat I know I need to buy fert. If sp barley I don't need any . Will buy once I can see the rows.

Will they still be valid next week?

Got quoted £426 Sept, £431 Oct. by one merchant for Yara Actyva 16-15-15-6.5So3 on Thursday morning.
Other merchant priced it at £445 for October on Friday afternoon.

Expensive either way but if First price still valid come Monday morning tempted to book something as have done nothing fertiliser wise so far.

Quoted £345 for 33.5N granular October and £320 for 27N+9So3 granular September.

Wow ridiculous price for a compound

Wow ridiculous price for a compound

P&K, and particularly P, have risen further than N, so all relative.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

What are folks being quoted for full loads of straight P&K (TSP/MOP) ?

thought i was stupid buying 10 24 24 1month ago at 372 seems an absolute bargain now

 

[Andrew1983]

My workers father is a lorry driver who regularly delivers fert, was saying on Friday his Dad has never seen the docks in Dundee so full of fert.

Yara ?

But they also know that if we don’t buy it this year and crops are poor, we aren’t going to have the cash to buy it next year. What would they do? Mothball the AN plants?

 

[Goffer]

Yara ?

At circa £450 it can wait

 

[SilliamWhale]

I've bought my AN @ £331 beginning of August.

I think its a pee take but I wouldn't be suprised to see prices climb a bit more and then get back to that price or below by next Feb/ March. Not a collapse but current prices seem very profiteering

Maybe just sell ammonia to industry, think that’s at all time highs.

Where’s that “it’s going to the moon” graph when you need it?
