Germany/Benelux:
Yara on June 29 posted a new price for CAN-27 (YaraBelaNitromag) in Germany and Benelux, raising the new list price to €283/mt bulk CIF in both countries for August deliveries, effective immediately. The new posting is a €16/mt increase on Yara’s €267/mt CIF posting for July deliveries for both destinations, announced less than a month ago (GM June 11, p. 19 ).
Rival supplier OCI early this week also raised its list price for CAN deliveries in Germany, to €280/mt CIF. The company said the price hikes reflect continuing strong demand and limited supplies, as well as rising input costs.
Yara also raised its list prices for YaraBela Sulfan for Germany and Benelux, setting the new price for August deliveries at €293.50/mt bulk CIF for Germany and €295/mt bulk CIF for Benelux. The new prices are up €16/mt from the previous posting on June 11.
