# Australia: Fertiliser sales surge as growers swoop on lower prices

> Australian fertiliser sales are running behind the usual seasonal surge as growers wait for further price falls before winter-crop planting. Prices are about 25% below last year's peak but remain above the long-term average. Western Australian despatches are slower, with peak seeding demand expected in March-April.

## Why it matters

Delayed buying concentrates fertiliser demand into a shorter window, which can tighten transport and supply later in the season. Growers are still expected to buy because grain prices are holding up.
