Subdued potash price not so bad, says industry exec

Canadian Business reported that potash is not getting to big a boost from rising crop prices. Wayne Brownlee, chief financial officer with Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, made the comments at an industry conference on Wednesday:

“What you’ve seen is a more moderated price increase in fertilizer that has not matched the increase in agriculture commodity prices. And so it’s leaving the farmer in a very healthy situation,” he told a Scotiabank fertilizer industry conference.
