Fertiliser/Phosphate Demand

High crop prices are driven by:

  • Population growth
  • Income growth and diet diversification
  • High energy prices and
  • Rising biofuel production, and
  • Declining growth in agricultural productivity……

"Current high agricultural prices are boosting fertilizer demand in market oriented economies as farmers try to optimize yields."
