If true thats better than they ever did when it was £90... everyone falling for the marketing hype.

Everyone knows fertiliser is short, so many are keen to get something secured. Supply and demand.

Plenty of buying groups have been taking committed orders for weeks ready for the day the price opens so they can pounce on the lowest price straight away. It’s the same as having a queue a mile long outside the shop before it opens….if what you have is in demand there is no need to drop the price and you may as well double it.

It’s only one step away (if that) from the merchants being franchise operators.

There just isn’t the competition in the market.

One reason I will only buy urea. As a global commodity at least it has a global price that is not quite so easily manipulated.

I bought urea the day before the war kicked off for £660
Same here, I think I bought on the Tuesday and it kicked off on the Wednesday.
The rep rang and said I don't know what to tell you but war is looking likely and I've been told fert us going up tomorrow, for once I got it right and he told me sound advise.

Edit £668 actually and that was for march delivery which didn't happen because of Russian involvement in the shipping of the urea.🙄
