Fertiliser - We are hearing that most suppliers are experiencing storage issues, if product isn’t collected within contracted time frames, this puts pressure on stock that is ordered or on the water on its way. Urea orders will be the ones that are cancelled due to the lack of demand currently. The Urea continues to soften, priced from $790.00 - $810.00 per tonne depending on supplier and port. The price may continue to drop slowly, but with the Indian Tender being issued today for more than 1,000,000 tonne, this may steady the price drop. MAP remains at $1,095.00 per tonne ex Geelong, Adelaide and Portland and $1,100.00 ex Brisbane and Newcastle. DAP has dropped slightly to $1,140.00 ex Geelong, Adelaide and Portland and $1,145.00 ex Brisbane and Newcastle.
