Eye 1448

A prolonged price rally is expected in the potassium chloride (MOP) market owing to anticipated supply chain disruptions after the U.S., the UK, Canada and EU countries have imposed sanctions on a major potassium chloride supplier, Belarus Potash Company (BPC). Limited exports from Canada will be another factor instigating price growth. MOP prices have already started to rise in Brazil due to supply delays. The average annual MOP price is projected to surge by 55% y-o-y to near $325 per ton in 2022.
