BRITISH farmers could face an extra £760million bill for fertiliser over the coming year thanks to the 'double whammy' of soaring gas prices and Russian moves to suspend fertiliser exports in response to Western sanctions.
. Many of the primary chemical and mineral fertilisers are made using methane — derived from pipeline gas — as a main ingredient, the production processes also call for significant amounts of energy, further tying the cost of fertiliser to gas prices. In fact, last Autumn, the impacts of the rising cost of gas resulted in a number of fertiliser factories being forced to close their doors.Both gas and fertiliser prices are rising again as a result of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
