Prices for urea, CAN and compound fertilisers are running €50/t lower than 2019 levels, an Irish Farmers Journal price survey has revealed.
Bad weather, low levels of autumn planting in the tillage sector and cashflow challenges are affecting movement in the trade.
Farmers also held off on purchasing in late 2019 and early 2020 in anticipation of lower prices.
