What is the minimum amount of fertiliser I can order?
CSBP has a minimum order of one tonne for each type of fertiliser.
Global and local fertiliser prices are subject to continuous change.
The types of factors that can impact on local prices include:
- Timing of purchase and stocks
- Final volumes of imported products and raw materials
- Offshore prices when shipments are secured
- The Australian dollar / US dollar exchange rate for each shipment
- Freight rates for each shipment
For an individual farmer, the price will also depend on discounts based on long term and short term offers in the market that may suit the growers’ business needs at the time of order and/or collection.
For these reasons, CSBP provides prices and offers through its comprehensive network of
area managers and sales agents throughout Western Australia.
I have already ordered my fertiliser through my FSA, so why is my order not released and ready to appoint?
The FSA lists your fertiliser nominations, but nominations are not an order. You will still need to order your fertiliser through a CSBP sales agent and ask them to release the order to CSBP.
If you would prefer, CSBP can arrange for your order to be released and can also make an appointment for you to collect your fertiliser.
Does CSBP sell fertiliser in bags?
CSBP only sells fertiliser in bulk with a minimum order of one tonne for each type of fertiliser.
I usually pick up a custom blend. Do I need to give prior notice or can I pick up on the same day?
CSBP prefers at least 24 hours notice for custom blends, especially as these need to be specially blended and stored ready for collection.
Does CSBP sell outside of WA?
CSBP does not sell to farmers outside WA.
Could you please tell me how many litres are in a tonne of Flexi-N?
Flexi-N has a specific gravity of 1.32 kg/L, which means 1000 litres of Flexi-N weighs 1.32 tonnes. (Water has a specific gravity of 1kg/L, so 1000 litres weighs one tonne).
One tonne of Flexi-N contains 757 litres. (1/1.32)
Does CSBP supply prilled urea?
CSBP only supplies granular urea. Prilled urea has been sold in the past but has caused handling and storage issues for WA farmers.
Can you provide me with a list of pesticides that mix with CSBP liquid fertilisers?
CSBP provides a list of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides that are sprayable with our liquid fertilisers, i.e. they can be mixed with adequate agitation and sprayed or banded. CSBP makes no claim regarding the efficacy of these mixed pesticides. Contact your local area manager who will be able to assist you.
