Listing of the Week - MAP Ex Geelong

Fertiliser - Urea continues to be the topic of conversation but without rain in the southern states, most are reluctant to secure before receiving much needed rain. Current market price remains around $780.00 per tonne ex all ports. We have access to stock ex Geelong, Newcastle and Brisbane at $775.00 per tonne. Marnco have reported this week that the 30-60 day outlook expects the price to have some short term softening but long term firming. The coming off in price is slow and this is the suppliers way of trying to shift some stock to make way for new stock. MAP and DAP are the ones that continue to firm. I am hearing that Suppliers rebuy price on MAP is over $1200.00 per tonne.  The current market price varies on both MAP and DAP. MAP is $1150-$1200 per tonne and $1,210-$1300 per tonne ex all ports. We still have MAP stock available ex Geelong and Portland at $1095 per tonne and $1,100 per tonne ex Port Kembla.  If you think you may need MAP over the next few months, this is the perfect time to secure it. Single super also continues to go up, now $470.00 per tonne ex Geelong, Portland and Newcastle and $475 per tonne ex Adelaide. SOA remains at $445.00 (All ports). We can sell at $420.00 per tonne. Granulock Z continues to go up and is now $1,230.00 per tonne (All ports), stock is very tight for May and June. MoP is $710.00 per tonne (All ports). SoP is $1,300.00 ex Brisbane, Geelong and Adelaide, $1,340.00 ex Newcastle and $1,310.00 ex Portland. We can also assist with Bulk Bags, please add $42.00 + GST to the Bulk price of Fertiliser. If you are looking for Fertiliser freight, we have a number of reliable and reasonably priced freight companies that we deal with regularly. Please get in touch for a delivered on farm price for all fertiliser ex all ports.
