Fertiliser Price Tracker

[PSQ]

Countries stockpiling supplies and hoarding what they produce would be a good strategy in times of war. Today I think its more of a commodity war.

Speaking of war, there is the Taiwan issue. This makes interesting reading, and mentions that China aim to invade Taiwan in a 14 hour time frame. As it will take the US and the west 24 hours to get their boots on, Taiwans best defence is to blow up their own semiconductor (silicon chip) manufacturing capacity, the largest in the world.

Their biggest customer is mainland China, so by "destroying the nest" they also destroy Chinas technology industry too. Ergo, no one wins the chess game, both sides lose in the worst possible fashion by a non nuclear version of 'mutually assured destruction'.

Chip Geopolitics: If China Invades, Make Taiwan 'Unwantable' by Destroying TSMC, Military Paper Suggests - High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC

US military planners are taking notice of a suggestion by two military scholars calling for the destruction of semiconductor foundry company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), whose fabs produce advanced microprocessors used in HPC and AI, in the event China invades the island nation...

Tbh, if I was head of food and strategy or whatever in China, I'd be saying "we've plenty of food in our silos".....even if I hadn't.

I'm *guessing* that higher n prices will be absorbed by a cutting of rates of p&k, or a holiday where soils allow.

He / They / Them might have trouble chasing the baddies in high heels.

Thats if the Bond franchise are going to be portraying 'baddies' anymore. It's rumoured the next film is about a really nasty super villain who has suffered from a poor upbringing, but it turns out he's just in need of some therapy and a big hug.

£ 615 CAN 27n 10s (I would think a blend)

I have been asked if this a reasonable price, haven't seen many prices for CAN of late.

Any merchant I have spoken too say supply not going to be a issue. The lads that order it 10 days before they need it might struggle.

The scaremongering on here annoys me. I must learn to ignore it. Will know in a few weeks if there's any foundation to there claims.

Perhaps they are right.

Load I ordered mid December, delivered today.

Still waiting on N ordered in September for October delivery.
Beginning to think the boat carrying it must have docked somewhere else rather than Berwick

So fairly well bought ?

 

[Zippy768]

Just a fraction over 3 weeks between ordering and delivery......with Xmas and new year in between!

 

[Old apprentice]

If this all works out well for Russia and China, will 2023 be more of the same ? 2024 ? Maybe a new norm for the foreseeable.

That scenairo is quite possible!
