For several weeks now, fertilizer prices have been on an upward trend in the main global markets. This is the result of several factors – demand, fertilizer availability, and supply logistics. Fertilizers are becoming moderately more expensive both in countries with low and stable production costs and in countries where costs are high and subject to rapid changes. In light of the trend observed over several quarters of postponing fertilizer purchases until just before the seasonal peak, Grupa Azoty consistently recommends spreading purchases over several batches to reduce the risk of buying products at high prices.
