The price of potash goes up and down

The price of potash rose sharply with the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. This was due to supply disruptions from Belarus and Russia, the second and third most important potash-producing countries. Potash is an important fertilizer practically worldwide. Since this event, the price of potash has only gone down. In some cases, farmers have reduced their demand. Compared to nitrogen fertilizers, the price of potash has held up well. Canada is also an important producer of potash. A small proportion comes from Germany and Israel. As the world’s population continues to grow and the demand for higher quality food continues to increase as the middle classes grow, potash remains an extremely important raw material.

According to forecasts, the demand for potash will therefore continue to grow. In 2022, China and India, which both import large quantities of potash, paid around USD 590 per tonne of potash.  In 2021, the two countries were still paying around USD 247 per tonne. Overall, the Ukraine war, the end of which is not yet in sight, has made the raw material more expensive.
