# New season fertiliser values soar – best wait to 2022 | The Scottish Farmer

> Fertiliser prices are rising sharply, with values at the start of the new season in May already £30 per tonne above 2020 and up a further £25 since. Compound fertilisers are rising by £5-£10 per week, and a 25:5:5 mix was selling at £312 per tonne. A Scottish supplier says buying around the turn of the year could be better this year.

## Why it matters

Higher natural gas and crude oil costs feed directly into nitrogen production, so fertiliser costs for feed-grain producers are likely to stay high in the near term. Buyers may face a timing decision between current prices and possible relief into 2022.
