> European farmers are paying £185 to £255 per tonne more for fertilizer than farmers in most other food-producing countries, with UK DAP near £925/t. CRU analysts said fertilizer prices may have peaked and phosphate and potash could fall over the next 12 months as demand drops 10 to 40% in some markets.
