Grupa Azoty on current situation in fertilizers market

Among other factors, the products we offer are priced based on current analyses and detailed calculations of total production costs, which are still subject to significant market fluctuations. In addition to volatile gas prices, fertilizer production costs are being largely driven by other factors as well, including major year-on-year increases in prices of electricity, coal, phosphate rock and potassium chloride.

Every year during the fertilizer season, ‘cheaper’ fertilizer products from around the world are offered on the free market in the EU. These still include fertilizers brought from Russia and Belarus, despite the war and sanctions imposed on the aggressors, as well as from the Middle East. The Company does not comment on the quality of these ‘competitively priced’ products from abroad or their efficiency in agricultural production, which are often impossible to verify before purchase.

It important to note that the costs of energy, raw materials, labour and environmental fees in the fertilizer producing countries mentioned above are significantly lower compared with the European Union.

When comparing offers, it should also be noted that the price lists published by Grupa Azoty’s authorised distributors include the cost of transporting the product to the customer.

We would like to emphasise that Grupa Azoty has a 95 years’ track record of making Polish fertilizers that meet the highest global standards, successfully contributing to the quality, volume and sustainability of agricultural production in Poland and Europe for years.

Despite the strong market volatility, Grupa Azoty is maintaining its production so that fertilizers are available when application starts. It is important to note, however, that it is still not the right time for fertilizer application. Also, many other European producers have again significantly curtailed or shut down production.

Grupa Azoty responds quickly to changing market conditions – the Company restored production after gas prices dropped last October, significantly reducing the selling prices of its fertilizers.

In the first week of February, before the application season begins, Grupa Azoty will unveil its new fertilizer offer reflecting the current situation in the raw materials market.
