Key Industry Developments
Recent developments affecting the Potash project landscape:
Uralkali exited the BPC (Belarusian Potash Company) marketing cartel with Belaruskali, crashing potash prices from $400 to below $300/tonne
EU and US imposed sanctions on Belarus following political repression and Ryanair hijacking; Belaruskali exports severely disrupted
Russia-Ukraine conflict further disrupted Russian and Belarusian potash exports; global potash prices spiked above $700/tonne
Prices normalized toward $300-400/tonne as alternative supply routes established and demand adjusted to high prices
BHPs Jansen mine construction progressed toward 2026 first production; will add significant new Canadian supply capacity
