Canpotex agreed to supply potassium chloride to Indian Potash through the end of 2022 at $590 per tonne CFR, more than double the $230 per tonne agreed for 2020. Fertilizer Daily links the price increase to U.S. sanctions against Belaruskali and Belarusian Potash Company.
A contract at $590 CFR sets a high benchmark for Indian potash purchases and signals that Canadian supply is commanding a premium while Belarusian tonnes are constrained. Buyers should expect elevated potash input costs through 2022.
