[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 8226503, member: 127792"] Fert sellers - price of key input (gas) has risen therefore its not profitable for me to make the good you have bought = force majeure and you dont get any fert. Grain growers - price of key input (fert) has risen therefore its not profitable for me to make the grain youve bought = not force majeure? In any case, we dont know the price of the bought fert vs the current price. So why debate the ethics? If there was a huge price swing, then I expect the merchant would have possibly reacted differently, or maybe they have done it for goodwill after evaluating the potential for future business? In light of potential production / gas issues, would you suggest that farmers ordering a specific fert product insert a substitution clause in their purchase order whereby if product X becomes unavailable then the trader is to substitute with an agreed equivalent at their cost? Because its quite easy for someone elses problem to become our problem if that fert booked to be on farm before 1st Feb is due to come from a factory which perhaps is obliged to cut production etc. [/QUOTE]
