Both the trade and farmers are already looking to next season for the purchase of mineral fertilizers. With rising grain prices and a strong urea price, the price for CANAS is also rising. This makes it interesting to purchase part of the nitrogen supply for next year now. Quality is the key word. You can get one again via Yara quote for (sulfur) nitrogen fertilizers.
In addition to price developments, there is more going on. Farmers are increasingly paying attention to the quality of mineral fertilizers. The attention to quality is caused by a fair share of imported material from Southern and Eastern Europe. Purchasing imported material may seem interesting in terms of price per kilogram of nitrogen, but the consequences of the often poor qualities lead to (hidden) costs. Poor quality is characterized by a lot of dust, a lot of variation in grain size and limited hardness of the grain. Poor quality gives a poor spreading pattern, which in turn is detrimental to the yield and quality of the crop. What is often forgotten is that a dusty product is more difficult to store because it attracts moisture more easily.
An important point of attention is the import of mineral fertilizers from Russia. In Europe, the share of Russian mineral fertilizer is about 20%. This also has repercussions in the Benelux. Where the import of gas from Russia is prohibited, Russia can export mineral nitrogen, albeit with an additional levy. The quality is poor in almost all cases.
Moral responsibility
In addition, every trader and farmer will have to decide for himself whether it is morally responsible to purchase such fertilizers. As a farmer, it is therefore wise to inquire about the origin of the fertilizers in addition to the price. If this is unclear, you are immediately in the risk zone. Yara fertilizers contain blue granules (tracers) and are therefore a hallmark of quality.
Big bags from the factory for extra security
An additional guarantee of purchasing quality is to have the mineral fertilizer delivered in big bags that are filled at the factory. This uniform and dust-free product will not disappoint.
