Norwegian cooperative Felleskjopet, Oslo, has temporarily stopped selling mineral fertilizer as wild swings in prices set by suppliers hamper its ability to price the goods, according to Bloomberg.
The wholesaler, owned by 44,000 farmers, said it will concentrate on delivering what it has already sold until the end of the year and will resume sales when the situation around prices and production has stabilized. It said it has been assured by Norway-based Yara International ASA that it will prioritize the Norwegian market, ensuring farmers receive the fertilizer needed for the 2022 growing season.
