> Phosphate and potash prices rose through 2017 on record global shipments, slower-than-expected greenfield capacity and idled North American plants. Blend-grade potash ended 2017 at $235/t fob NOLA, and Brazilian delivered prices reached about $265/t. The outlook expects supply and demand to stay constructive at least through mid-2018.
