Food price rise may continue in North Carolina
RALEIGH AP The cost of food may rise further this summer in North Carolina due to a liquid nitrogen fertilizer shortage. Nitrogen fertilizer prices have doubled in a year to 180 a ton for 30 percent and 400 a ton for 80 percent. East Coast plants are at capacity, unable to meet demand. Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham says corn is most likely to be affected and fruit and leafy vegetables may rise in price. He warns farmers to cut fertilizer use to survive, but cautions profits and farm viability are at risk.
