Mosaic Co. MOS
After Hours: 40.07 -1.18 (-2.86%) 2:52pm ET
Fears that potash producers would finally have to cave in to consumer demands to lower prices prompted a roughly 25% price drop in potash company shares during June. Recent evidence that price discounting may not have to be as drastic as previously feared has stabilized share prices and could prompt a continuation of the industry's uptrend.
The potash market is somewhat unique because it operates with just a handful of buyers and producers. The prospects for potash prices and demand hinges on terms that producers can extract from three major agricultural nations, China, India and Brazil, which account for about 42% of total world demand. Companies in major producing countries Canada, including Potash Corp. (NYSE:POT), Mosaic (NYSE:MOS) and Agrium (NYSE:AGU), and Russia/Belarus have traditionally marketed their production through two export organizations that together control 70% of global production.
This arrangement has been a good one for producers. Despite a 14% decline in sales, and with inventory levels at roughly double their five-year average, potash prices have remained surprisingly high as producers have responded quickly to rising supplies by cutting about 40% of production capacity since late 2008.
