This CSBP Market Update interview podcast focuses on the Australian fertilizer market. Grey Johnston interviews Ben Sudlow, discussing recent changes in fertilizer prices due to fluctuations in the Australian dollar against the US dollar and global supply issues. Key price increases are highlighted for MAP (up $35-$100/tonne), urea (up $55-$60/tonne), and slight upward pressure on potash and flexion prices. The impact of China's reduced phosphate exports on global supply and the increasing reliance on Chinese ammonium sulphate are also discussed, emphasizing the need for growers to place fertilizer orders promptly to secure supply. The interview concludes with advice for growers to plan ahead and communicate their needs to secure fertilizer supplies.
