Fertiliser Price Tracker

[Spencer]

they think its ok for a rich country like ours to import food from other parts of the world where the population there go hungry.

That’s pretty much exactly the arrogance of our government...

 

[Farma Parma]

Ask yourselves can those other countries around the world grow
food cheap anymore,inflation is a global problem not just a UK one .
Our biggest threat is a government that will import food from nearly any destination
whilst simultaneously doing away with equal standards or requirements.

Sometimes you just wonder how our gov lyes straight in bed any night talk about shafting its own people.

 

[PSQ]

Can’t ever remember a government as hostile to farmers as this one, sooner they are gone the better for UK ag.

Blairs government, Nick Brown was OK as ag minister, but to reward us for the fuel strikes we had Jack Cunningham in the new DEFRA (Its would have pained them to have 'Ag' in the title) and Margaret f**king Becket, both of whom presided over the lost decade of farm profitability. I'll take the current bunch of inbred incompetents over Blairs bunch of champagne socialist cockwombles any day.

You need to give the current lot a bit more time yet.

Yes although I agree with PSQ about Blair's Government I do think this one may surpass it in its disdain for Agriculture

 

[Barleymow]

I wonder if this is the start of the realisation of the hole they are in if they don’t start doing something sensible quick

But it won't pay for my fertiliser at £390 for this year let alone next years at whatever it is

European natural gas seems to have fallen a fair bit in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if it'll help ease fertiliser prices, no new prices out for AN yet so I'm told

Supply and demand will determine the price
Just as it does with grain meat or milk

No sign of it running out .

 

[Lincsman]

No sign of it running out .

Not that much sign of buyer resistance from what i read here.

 

[fertman21]

All things considered, gas still 3-4 times the price it was 12 months ago. Russia who WERE suppliers of circa half of all AN and large proportion of Urea, P+K to Europe now cannot export that. May be wise to hedge your bets on some fert on new season...... unless that is, if you somehow know that Putin is going to withdraw sharpish and that all sanctions get dropped soon after, then there would be sense in waiting to order some top grade Russian dust to try spreading 24m.

The fert price doesn't bother me , the wheat price does

Those prices sound more palatable. Who is that through,?

I was quoted over 770 for nitram today.

Not new season surely? Should be £120t less than that at least!?

 

[yellow belly]

I suspect the big reason the gas price has fallen is because of reduced demand due to warm weather
this happens every year
the fertiliser plants used to take advantage of cheaper gas and make fertiliser in the summer at a lower cost to get farmers to take delivery

No not new season.

Agree, but I think you’ll find that Gordon Brown’s reign as Chancellor has been the single biggest disaster for the UK as a whole (not just farming) in living memory. The seeds of the UK’s destruction were mainly sown by him.

Actually they were more like strong saplings.

I’m not that hopeful. Market forces are the only thing that’s gonna prevail.

Reality and history don’t seem to be things politicians are interested in any more.
