"Report highlights gross margin pressure"

Yagro's 2024 Chemical and Fertiliser Review highlights a 50% increase in winter wheat production costs due to soaring fertiliser prices, primarily driven by geopolitical factors. The cost rise contributed to a 58% drop in gross margins, with fertiliser costs jumping from £163.97/ha in 2018 to over £400/ha in 2023.
