Fertilisers play a critical role in food production and security. At the peak of gas prices in 2022, gas accounted for 90% of the variable production cost of nitrogen fertilizers, resulting in a 149% increase in nitrogen fertiliser prices for EU farmers as of September 2022 compared to September 2021.
