Two more fertilizer plants in Europe shut down due to high gas prices – no energy means no food

A pair of fertilizer production facilities in Poland have reportedly closed their doors, at least temporarily, because of the exorbitant cost of natural gas and other fuels.

Record-breaking prices for fuel all across Europe forced Grupa Azoty, the European Union’s second-largest fertilizer producer and the owner of one of the plants, to halt operations. The company issued the following statement on August 22:

“Due to record prices for natural gas, the main raw material for Grupa Azoty SA’s production, the company decided on August 22, 2022 to temporarily shut down its nitrogen fertilizer, caprolactam and polyamide 6 production plants from August 23, 2022.”

“Although there are no problems with the availability of gas, the current situation on the gas market, which determines the profitability of production activity, is exceptional and completely beyond the company’s control.

What a shut down because of the high cost of inputs means is, either the price of the fertilizer product is controlled, and they can’t pass the costs along, or the market to buy at the higher price is not there yet. When the price of food is allowed to go higher, then it becomes profitable to pay the higher price of fertilizer so you can benefit from producing more food. Somewhere along this chain the price of “something” is controlled.

The price of food at the moment is controlled by its ready availability because we are not eating food harvested before the cost of gas went up.

ALL . . . . because of the US Satanists' hatred for President Trump !

President Trump was elected by the people, and for a change, the people actually agreed on someone that actually DID something good for America . . . besides talk about what he was going to do.

President Trump was SUCH a good President, he was headed for a landslide RE-election and the Satanists couldn't let THAT happen . . . . . . . . . sooooo ,. . . . . . they invented Covid 19 (just another flu), exploded it throughout the nation (and ultimately the world that had news and television), and finagled mail in ballots across the country . . . . giving them JUST the opening they needed to steal the election.

Nine months of black psyops (distancing, masking, stay away, stay inside, fear, fear, fear), and the psyche's of the public school weakened minds believed any and everything and LO ! . . . . It went out beyond our borders!

Not only did they not waste a good crisis, but they were in position to manipulate further and with Bernie as president (not the Vermonter . . . the dead one . . .)

/8^)

and they shrank our dollar.

From then on is was easy to do anything soros desired.

We are in a a well planned and executed coup of the world and the ONLY place I know of to read up on and learn about THAT is . . .

In the Bible

The big players in fertilizer production are USA, China, Russia and India. Those countries could make up the difference to some extent.

Part of this story (if you follow things in the Netherlands)....more intense political pressure to control farmers and production going on.

If you did raise prices drastically for fertilizer....you’d have to have some belief that prices for your product would reflect your ‘cost’. I don’t see that happening in Germany or France.

If you walk into any grocery in the past three months...prices are generally 20-percent higher, and some items are 50-percent higher.

I have a particular apple cider that I like (come only in bottles, not cans). They shut down for 3 months. Still selling product in bottles, but I doubt if these are German-produced bottles anymore. Wouldn’t shock me if they were being produced in Turkey and shipped to Germany to fill with the cider.

I don’t see our fertilizer plant up on Capitol Hill ever shutting down. That’s too bad.

Natural gas prices have increased 70% since the end of June. Fortunately we purchased our fertilizer for next year before the price hike.

You spelled “evil” wrong.

These people are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing and it is evil.

Funny and sadly ever more true as the days pass.
