Pacific Fertiliser supplies high quality ag lime into the Northern Rivers area for pastoral, cropping and high value horticulture operations.
We also supply high quality gypsum in the northern river area and dolomite products into the northern river area from our Brisbane operations.
The northern rivers agricultural mineral products are available in bulk fine powdered loads through to 2-4mm granular minerals in bulkbags.
Most growers are in for a wet finish.
On the fertiliser price forecast there isn’t too much good news either, as prices continue to rise and supply tightens.
Energy and shipping cost increases, coupled with a lack of supply are keeping fertiliser prices at historical highs.
If you are looking for your 2022 winter crop fertiliser options, you should start considering your options and procurement timing. Securing volume and pricing for next year is providing headaches for the whole supply chain.
Due to the increased fertiliser prices, we are seeing a lot of customers looking for alternative products and blends to maximise yields without putting too much strain on the budget.
Pacific Fertiliser can provide straight fertilisers, tailored fertiliser blends (granular or powder) with additives including trace elements, carbon, humates, manures and liquid additives such as biology, wetting agents and other chemicals.
Pacific Fertiliser has volumes of straight fertiliser products available now and for next season from most eastern ports. Please contact us for pricing and availability.
Fertiliser Outlook:
At this stage it’s hard to predict pricing for next year, but with supply looking very tight for the majority of products used in Australia, prices will remain firm.
We see the biggest issue being whether next seasons required volumes will be covered with the current global product and supply constraints.
Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) 12:52 has a general analysis of 12-23-0-2
Which has a slightly higher analysis to the normal MAP fertiliser sold in Australia at 10-22-0-2

Most regions are experiencing a good (to damp) season, with all hoping for a strong finish to winter grains and a good start for summer crops & cotton.
If you hadn’t noticed, there has been a rapid increase in fertiliser prices this year, due to strong demand in global ag markets, increases in raw material prices and ongoing logistical challenges due to COVID-19, which has put pressure on international supply chains.

You may be wondering what is driving the recent increases in fertiliser prices?
Strong demand in key global agricultural markets, an increase in raw material prices and ongoing logistical challenges due to the COVID-19, have put pressure on international supply chains which have all lead to a rapid increase in fertiliser prices. Sea Freight rates alone have increased by ~300% over the past 12 months.
Current fertiliser pricing is at a 10 year high.

As fertiliser in Australia becomes expensive and in tight supply, growers will look for fertiliser alternatives. One of those is a common fertiliser, super phosphate (SSP) or Superfect.
With an analysis of 0-9-0-11 it is a low analysis fertiliser, but with phosphorous and sulphur it is a versatile product.
Alternatives for Single Super are:
When manufactured fertilisers are expensive or in tight supply, mineral phosphate fertilisers such as soft rock phosphate and guano become more attractive. These mineral fertiliser products can be blended to provide alternatives to main stream fertilisers and include other benefits like calcium, silica and neutralising effects. Mineral Fertiliser Products like:
Pacific Fertiliser can provide phosphate fertilisers straight or in blends in both air seeder or aerial grades.
