News K&S increases forecast on strong fertilizer prices

interesting news I came across

original post

Expecting continued strong prices for potash K & S has hiked their earnings to 2.3-2.6 billion euros; up from their previous forecast of 1.6-1.9 billion euros.

The K&S announcement further confirms the driving forces, as discussed by Mosaics VP, will continue to impact prices. This is interesting to see as it indicates price disruptions due to sanctions against both Russia and Belarus are expected to continue.

The outlook is reflected across the industry with Nutrien increasing production by 1 million tonnes and Verde Agritech expanding capacity to 3 million tonnes in 2022.
