Why Potash
-
Excellent long term fundamentals
-
Commodity of primary agricultural importance
Potash Sample
Some Definitions
-
Cannot be man made or substituted
-
Has wide application – consumed in 150 countries
-
Long term market pricing fundamentals are sound
-
Global production is ~ 50MT pa / market is in deficit
-
Demand is growing at ~ 3-4% pa; supply concentrated
-
The United Nations (UN) estimates that the world population will reach 9 million by 2050, with more than 60% living in Asia alone
-
UN further estimates that crop production will have to increase by 70% in the same period to support the burgeoning population
Potash: General term for Potassium compounds and potassium-bearing minerals
Sylvinite: Mineral mix of 30% potassium chloride (KCl) and 65% sodium chloride (NaCl)
Carnalite: Mineral compound of hydrated potassium magnesium chloride (KMgCl3.6H2O)
