While large quantities of fertilisers are not yet moving, prices quoted remain relatively stable throughout the country.

Prices for urea have been reported between €340 to €360/t depending on where in the country you are located. The highest price quoted of €360/t came in the northeast while the lowest quotes of €340/t were in the south and southeast. Western quotes came in around the €350/t mark.

Merchants were keen to stress that stock is not yet moving in any large quantities with most of the fertiliser on offer carried over from the back end of the year.

For a lot of merchants, fresh stocks of fertiliser are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
