UK manufactured ammonium nitrate rose another £12 per tonne for February delivery after major producers withdrew and republished terms, taking the increase since Christmas to £46/t. Egyptian granular urea reached a seven-year high of $375 FOB, and phosphate prices rose £25/t since early January as stocks were depleted.
