US potash retail is at $494/short ton, up about 9% year on year, and the Canpotex FOB Vancouver benchmark is around $302/t as of July 19. India's contract with Belarusian Potash Company was set at $383/t CFR for June-December 2026 deliveries, anchoring Asian pricing, while Brazilian buying remains behind needs.
A higher India contract price and firm US retail levels point to upward pressure on potash costs for fertilizer buyers, while lagging Brazilian coverage could trigger catch-up buying later in the season.
