answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2021 answer text <p>Ammonium nitrate prices are at 12-month highs, having increased by around a half since last August. From August 2020 through to July 2021, the most recent month for which we have data, the price of imported ammonium nitrate has risen progressively from £202 per tonne to £311. This represents an increase of 53%. Over the same time period, the price of UK-produced ammonium nitrate has also risen, from £218 per tonne to £326, an increase of 50%.</p><p> </p><p>The average price since January 2017 is £247 per tonne for UK-produced ammonium nitrate, and £235 for imported ammonium nitrate. Focussing on UK-produced ammonium nitrate, prices initially rose after January 2017, peaking at £293 per tonne in November 2018. Prices then fell, bottoming out at £200 per tonne in June 2020, before commencing their current increase. Prices are now at the upper end of their 5-year range and are returning to levels last seen in the early years of the previous decade.</p><p> </p><p>The data on ammonium nitrate price movement is already in the public domain and there are no plans to publish any deeper assessment of the trends.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 21/09/2021 13:09:52 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
