There were no Brobdingnagian spike in European gas cost last week , but , nonetheless , winter gas pedal price were still uprise in the weekend , so the free energy crisis is sure enough not over yet . reasonableness enough for German growers to return to rock oil , our journalists discovered , and elsewhere , perfectly good crops are beingpulled up too early . Here is an overview .

GermanyOur author were in North - West Germany last week , where they saw and try that James Leonard Farmer are not well-chosen with the current vigour crisis . Many agriculturalist have recently been approaching installers with countless question in an attempt to try and take energy - redeem measures .

One such quantity is regress to oil . Farmers have to adapt their heating systems ' place setting for that . Some growers still ( partly ) cauterize ember , but grants are enticing them to switch to gas . Gas that is very expensive now .

Some Dutch farmers , for good example , are glad to be usinggeothermal DOE , or they are grow in ' gasless ' or ' all - electric greenhouse ' . In Germany , however , electricity is even more expensive than in the Netherlands . In fact , Germany is one of the most expensive countries in Europe in terms of electrical energy prices .

Some German farmers in the NW of the state do not apply lighting and are come near the crop rotary motion period , or are busy cleaning their nursery . One cuke Fannie Farmer stopped train a week before because of the high energy prices , but he almost regretted it on Friday , as the weather was in reality quite good and an extra hebdomad of cultivation might have been potential after all . That agriculturist ’s greenhouse will be empty for slightly longer , and he hop he can use that time to recover from the stress of being lock into a few more years of passing gamy gas prices .

AnalysisThe vim crisis is still very topical , but it seems that the first vim shock undulation has now sink passably in Germany , and this calendar week should , hopefully , not bring any more stories from worried agriculturist . However , the first analysis and prognosis are appear in the Dutch medium .

Glastuinbouw Nederland , for instance , points out the consequences of the sustainability battle the glasshouse sphere faces , and ABN Amro publish a(financial ) analysiswhich take the impact ( read ' heavy losses ' ) for various sphere , including greenhouse gardening .

financial specialists state that greenhouse horticulture is the sector with ' the high energy billhook ' . They say glasshouse growers need to be able to conk all the extra cost of the pricier gas to their customer , or it will cost them their profits .

With zero winnings , farmers struggle to invest in , for lesson , sustainability . Glastuinbouw Nederland agrees with the bank analysts : growers ' current cost prices are much higher compared to before the current ( get-up-and-go ) price increase . They are name for the state ’s renewable energy computer storage taxation to be reversed .

Glastuinbouw Nederland ’s chairperson , Adri Bom - Lemstra , judge the current position as ' exceedingly annoying for cultivator who are mostly drug-addicted on buying gas on the 24-hour interval market place . ' She manoeuvre out that this also applies to other sectors such as the fertilizer manufacture and packaging companies .

The high Energy Department and gasolene prices are going to lead to higher consumer prices for vegetables , blossom , and plants . " That seems inevitable . However , Wageningen University & Research latterly did a field of study that evidence that consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for sustainably produced food . That ’s a confirming omen for the hereafter . The retail sector should also respond to that , " allege Bom - Lemstra .

Less explosive , but much rest uncertainAgroEnergy providedan analysisof a dissimilar variety . They compose that " it remains difficult to estimate the short - term price developments . wintertime contracts seem to be moving towards a new price equilibrium , and things are already far less volatile than last week . However , it will take very fiddling for the food market to become unbalanced again . President Putin retell on Wednesday that Russia can have more gas if Europe requests it . "

" He also unwaveringly refuse that gas is being withhold as a political weapon system to get Nord Stream 2 approved quicker . Russia ’s natural gas shot time of year hold up until November 1 . Russian Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin has already hinted that they ’re in no charge to supply Europe with additional gas any sooner than they must . "

Moreover , " the long term billet is very much at the mercifulness of light term contracts . Very little directional news can affect the recollective terminal figure more strongly than the shortsighted term . In the petrol grocery store , Q1 of ' 23 ’s prices are more than half as gamey as Q1 of 2022 . That read that the current niggardliness is irregular . assume Nord Stream 2 into use seems to have been see . "

" On Wednesday , the European Commission presented a ' toolkit ' which member land can practice to wield the high energy costs their citizen are incurring . It was noted that the recent price increases are a ' impermanent phenomenon ' that should sink after the winter . The EC is going to further investigate whether purchasing gasolene on a European level might be beneficial . That should better guarantee supply security . "
