Rabobank releases Q4 2011 Fertiliser Quarterly

   

   

   

The latest Fertiliser Quarterly from Rabobank for Q4 2011 shows the current level of weakness in the fertiliser sector, which is anticipated to continue in the near-term.

   

   

There is upside potential for fertiliser prices towards the end of Q1 2012 when demand picks up to meet the needs of elevated crop plantings.

   

   

However, the uncertainty surrounding the outlook for crop prices and a more cautious approach to farm decision-making could lead to reduced fertiliser purchases and applications, particularly during the early part of the upcoming planting period.

   

   

Delaying fertiliser purchases could result in further fertiliser price slides in Q1 2012.
