Recent trends in the potassium chloride industry

2008 was a year of dramatic change for the potash industry. There was a sudden and sharp reverse in the trend of crop prices as they fell from the elevated levels that had enabled farmers to pay high prices for potash and other fertilizers. This situation was aggravated by the international economic crisis that affected the availability of credit to commercial growers.

 

Potassium Chloride Ten Year Outlook

 

The Potassium Chloride Ten Year Outlook contains a thorough review of the current state of the market and the outlook for the next decade. It will address the following questions:

  • Can today’s prices be sustained or will the bubble burst? What level of pricing can the market support and how will prices evolve over the next ten years?
  • Where and when might we see new potash mines being built? How will the appearance of a new producer affect the market’s dynamics?
  • Is the slump in sales volumes that began in late 2008 a temporary blip or will it have longer term repercussions for potash demand?
  • Brazil, China, India and Indonesia have been responsible for the strong growth in the market but will they be enough to keep pushing the world’s demands for potassium upwards?
  • With the daily charter rate for large vessels ranging from $75,000/day to just $10,000/day in 2008, where do market fundamentals suggest the freight market will settle?

As well as answering all of these questions the report will review all current projects, from confirmed developments to attractive opportunities. It will assess the effect their supply and demand will have on the market balance for the years to come.
