Fuel prices continue to move higher on the back of increased tensions between the West and Iran which are estimated to have added $10 to the price of a barrel of oil. The price outlook for the current week is for prices to move higher.

Competition for good business has kept prices largely unchanged this week with keenest quotes available for full loads (24t+) and volume orders. Activity has picked up but traded volumes continue to lag previous year’s sales. A local turf war in the South East saw granular urea offered at €400/t and 10-10-20 at €460/t both bagged (top lift) delivered farm in the last week. Cold weather across Europe coupled with the ongoing euro-zone crisis and its impact on credit availability has seen demand ease. With continuing downward pressure on international wholesale prices EU merchants and farmers remain reluctant to commit on large volumes.

Activity has picked up this week but volumes traded to farmers lag previous year’s sales. This may lead to some bottlenecks on the supply side when the season gets into full swing. According to trade sources Irish urea stocks are significantly below last year’s levels but despite this prices have remained unchanged from last week. Many farmers are reluctant to use urea despite the significant discount it trades at relative to CAN. Even allowing for higher losses which are calculated at 15% urea is significantly cheaper than CAN on a per unit nitrogen basis. Competition for good business remains keen particularly where farmers are group purchasing or farmers come together informally to coordinate full loads. Keenest quotes for CAN range from €310/t to €317/t marginally up on last week, with granular urea from €410/t to €420/t. International wholesale prices remain strong as the market gets into full swing across the Northern Hemisphere and also buoyed by the recent recovery in grain and oilseed prices. Manufacturers will attempt to maintain or increase current price levels over the next six to eight weeks before prices start to drop as the buying season across Europe comes to a close.

Despite the trade continuing to talk up the price of fertiliser by €10/t competition for good business continues to see the keenest quotes for CAN range from €308/t to €317/t, with granular urea from €410/t to €420/t. Arkady brought in a boatload of prilled urea to the North East and this is being offered at €410/t bagged or at €395/t in bulk. Market activity has picked up in recent days. The arrival of three new formulations for malting barley known as Malt Master Fertiliser from Glanbia has seen competition hotting in the South Midlands and the South East. Target in response have introduced a compound 11N- 6P-17K containing 1% more phosphorous but competing at the same price.

Sales have picked up but many farmers are still reluctant to purchase large tonnages. Best quotes for granular urea (bagged delivered) have ranged from €415/t to €420/t, plus €5/t on the previous week with keenest quotes available in the North Leinster area. Stocks are at a low level with distributors / blenders and merchants as there is a reluctance to commit to volumes at the current price levels. However, with spring fast approaching the trade will have to move to take positions.

Feed Ingredient and Fuel Price 21st December 2011

Grain prices have steadied with wheat and barley trading from €188/t to €190/t.

New crop prices have also hardened slightly with harvest 2012 wheat at €174/t to €175/t and barley €5/t to €6/t under.

Wholesale international fertiliser prices continue to fall with granular urea down over $110/t since early November. Official quotes for CAN have not moved but deals are being done €15 to €20/t under official quotes. Rapidly falling urea prices are putting increased downward pressure on CAN prices as farmers switch to urea. European buyers continue to stand back from the market in anticipation that prices will fall further.

On the home front quotes for bagged CAN delivered have fallen below the €320/t mark with granular urea being traded under €440/t.

Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
