Potash Prices

Potash Fertilizer prices have been moving higher lately reflecting the demand for the product to increase production to meet the growing demand and offset the grain shortages in the world due to climate change and the world’s middle class population growth. Grain Demand has resulted in an 8 fold increase to satisfy the populations demand for more protein products worldwide. Potash Fertilizer's stock has risen dramatically in recent years. Traders have begun to see additional gains from these stocks. People who are interested in a booming agricultural economy switched to potash investments when the entire world was geared up towards automated bitcoin trading, which is considered to be the fastest profit making exchange in the world. Farming enthusiasts interested in bitcoin trading may learn more about bitcoin prime here, an automated robot that guarantees massive earnings through its trading approach. Whatever field you choose to trade in, enjoy with it and earn huge profits with your minimal investments.

Potash price increases have sent the share prices of many potash producers as well as explorers higher in recent months supported by BHP Billiton’s recent $39 Billion hostile takeover bid for Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, the world’s largest producer. Management believes our growth plans will be reflected in enhanced shareholder values.

what is POTASH ?

Mined from natural mineral deposits left by ancient evaporated seas, potash is primarily used as a crop nutrient. Its potassium strengthens plant stalks and roots and helps crops fight disease and injury. In addition to improving yields, potash adds flavor, color and texture to foods. Potash is also used to make industrial products ranging from soaps to computer monitors. Key Products – Standard and Granular Potash

The term "potash" comes from the pioneer practice of extracting potassium fertilizer (K2CO3) by leaching wood ashes and evaporating the solution in large iron pots.

Potash, or carbonate of potash, is in fact a mixture of potassium salt with impure form of potassium carbonate (K2CO3). In other words, it is the common term used for the fertilizer forms of the element potassium (K).

Potassium occurs abundantly in nature, being the 7th most common element in the earth's crust. Some clay minerals which are associated with heavy soils are rich sources of potassium.

Potash bearing rock deposits occur in many regions of the world. They are derived from the minerals in ancient seas that dried up millions of years ago. Fertilizer potash is mostly derived from these potash rocks. It requires only separation from the salt and other minerals.

There are no known substitutes for potash.

Uses of Potash

Potash has three main uses: fertilizer, livestock feed supplements and industrial processes. 95% of world's potash is used in fertilizers, while the rest is used for feed supplements and industrial production.

Potash is a key ingredient in fertilizers that enhances water retention of plants, increases crop yields and plants' disease resistance. In feed supplements, the key function of potash is to contribute to animal growth and milk production. Potash is also used to produce glass, ceramics, soaps etc.

FUTURE GROWTH AREAS

About Phosphate

Made from ancient marine fossils, phosphate rock is combined with acids for use in fertilizer, feed and industrial products. By aiding in photosynthesis and cell division, phosphate fertilizer speeds crop maturity and increases yields. As a feed supplement, phosphate is necessary for skeletal development and aids in animal muscle repair. Key Products – DAP, MAP, Phosphoric Acid

About Nitrogen

Nitrogen occurs naturally in air, but it must be converted for use by agriculture and industry. As a fertilizer, nitrogen speeds the growth of plants and is critical to crop yield. As a major component of chlorophyll, nitrogen also keeps plants green. Industrial nitrogen products are used to make plastics, carpets, batteries and more. Key Products – Ammonia, Urea

The need for our products

Like people, plants need nutrients to develop. Each time a crop is harvested, it takes with it some of those nutrients from the soil. Fertilizers replace the nutrients so the soil can continue to produce healthy and abundant crops. Fertilizer is vital because it allows farmers to produce more crops on less land. Without fertilizer, we would need at least 40 percent more farmland. Fertilizer has become increasingly important as conditions challenge farmers throughout the world:

There are more mouths to feed. Population has more than doubled since 1950 and is expected to grow from 6.7 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050. With that growth comes even greater demand for food.

More people are eating meat. As incomes rise in developing nations, millions of people are switching from starch- to protein-based diets. Every pound of beef requires seven pounds of grain to produce, and this has a substantial impact on grain demand.

There is less farmland available per person. Urbanization and population growth are shrinking available farmland. By the year 2020, the land available per person is expected to be less than half that of 1950.

Crop yields are low in many growing regions. Historical under-application of fertilizer has led to low yields in countries like China, India and Brazil. By properly using fertilizer, these countries could dramatically improve crop production.
