The government plans to help farmers with the purchase of artificial fertilizers in the face of the crisis
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MRiRW) and the Ministry of State Assets are working together on a system that will enable farmers to purchase fertilizers at attractive prices. This is the government’s response to record fertilizer prices.
On Tuesday, the management board of Grupa Azoty announced a temporary suspension of the production of nitrogen fertilizers, caprolactam and polyamide 6. The decision was based on a record increase in the price of natural gas.
A similar decision to suspend the production of fertilizers due to high gas prices was made by Anwil, a company owned by PKN Orlen. As announced, the company, like Azoty, will carry out renovation and investment works during the downtime of production lines.
While the fall stocks are sufficient, the spring situation can be very difficult. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, together with the Ministry of State Assets, decided to develop a system that would allow farmers to purchase fertilizers at moderate prices. So far, the ministry does not present any details.
