Irish fertiliser importers and distributors have been buying very little stock recently as international fertiliser manufacturers have continued to push on prices. List prices have begun to emerge from the industry for CAN, urea and 27-2.5-5.

Sellers are quoting €260/t to €270/t bagged delivered to farm for CAN, which reflects the international bulk price of €210/t to €215/t. No further price increases are forecast. The high nitrogen fertiliser, 27-2.5-5 is being offered in the broader range of €350/t to 375/t. Granular urea is offered at €360/t to 365/t delivered on farm. These prices have gone up by €40/t in the past year.
