Analysing the world potash industry

Abstract

Commentators have usually viewed potash as a rather unglamorous commodity because of its limited applications, low prices, the relatively small size of the industry, a persistent supply overhang situation and high barriers to entry. Yet on closer inspection, potash provides an interesting mineral market case study.
