The domestic fertiliser season has started somewhat earlier than usual, at prices higher than many expected just a month ago, writes independent commentator Roger Chesher. GrowHow UK this week priced Nitram 34.5% ammonium nitrate at 315/t delivered for June and 319/t for July (add 5 for sulphur). Only a month ago we were venturing a new season price of 265/t. Events have moved quickly, but that 315/t and an early start should not come as a total surprise. Last week, Yara kicked off the European nitrogen season with a price for 33.5% AN at 315/t bulk wholesale, a price that equates to 322/t on UK farms.
