How does it work?
You’ll apply to purchase a volume of Urea or SustaiN at a fixed price for a six-month contract period. There is a minimum application volume of 30 tonnes and maximum volume of 500 tonnes.
If your application is successful, we’ll invoice you for the Fixed Price, instead of the Trade Price when you order your Urea or SustaiN as normal during the contract period.
By the end of the contract (31 March 2025), you must have uplifted your entire contracted volume. Otherwise, you will be charged a break fee for the shortfall.
What is the fixed price?
The fixed price will be the trade price of SustaiN or Urea on the date applications open plus a risk-management premium of $40/T. This premium reflects the cost of managing the price risk of the product for this pilot.
Before application open, the final fixed price will be published here and on the application form.
How do I apply?
When applications open, there will be a button ‘Make an application’ on this webpage.
