£278 was a hike on the previous purchase though, I bet.

yes, I think about £100/t.
I did cough and splutter at the time.

I bought 38N 19S at £750, about 25% of my need, had another 25% carried from last year at just over 600, but even that looks dear now! Still better than trying to put it on grass in the desert like conditions of last summer.

46% plain urea at £415 today, July - December but the dealer can withdraw at any time, that seems unfair.

Getting cheaper all the time....!

I wonder how many merchants are sitting on stock priced earlier at higher prices (like the position farmers find themselves in) but finding that the spring prices have fallen and so need to be priced at a negative margin to move it on.

Who would take the hit on that? Merchant or manufacturer?

What does that mean? You say yes to 200 ton and in 6 weeks time they withdraw?

Manufacturer I think, don’t think it’s priced till the day it sells?

Sitting tight? Still 80-90 above what it would take to bring it over.

Obviously they aren't going to drop it 200 one go. But more needed. And the market is still falling away from them all the time.

Whoever made the fortune selling £250 fert for £900 last year.

I assume you mean the offer can be withdrawn at any time? Why is that unfair? It’s there to be booked until it’s not? Prices and availability change…..

if you mean they reserve the right not to supply once booked then tell them to jog on.

They’d have to have massive balls to hang on to it that long, probably sold before it had risen 50 quid a ton.

Not so sure, most would have been in stock or on a ship when war broke out, and it went up so fast it wasn't new production.

My point exactly, I bet if I tried to withdraw if the price went down they would kick up a stink and point to the contract?

Surely you are miss understanding them, as in the deal (before being booked) can be withdrawn at any time?
