Investor Presentaiton
Potash Prices
For personal use only
Prices for standard SOP products are currently trading
at approx. US$540/t (NW Europe FOB)
Current weakness in MOP prices has had limited
impact on SOP prices
Key supply and demand fundamentals support the
current SOP price:
Price inelasticity: SOP demand is driven by
high-value crops for which the cost of fertilizer
has less impact on crop profitability
➤ High marginal cost: SOP supply is reliant on
secondary production (Mannheim Process)
which has a high production cost and a
problematic hydrochloric acid by-product
