Uralkali, BPC talk

Moscow — OAO Uralkali CEO Dmitry Osipov and Belarusian Potash Co. CEO Elena Kudryavets met in Moscow Jan. 31, according to Bloomberg, which cited BPC’s spokesperson. She said they discussed “current issues of cooperation not related to the market.” Sources saw this as another step toward the two potash giants ironing out their differences after Uralkali’s July 30, 2013, exit from their joint marketing efforts.
