Keene, N.H. — Green Markets, publisher of recognized independent pricing benchmarks international and North American fertilizers, has launched a new Weekly U.S. Fertilizer Price Index, a new analysis tool that identifies the weekly pricing trends in fertilizer. The index has a starting date of Jan. 7, 2002, an associated starting value of 100, and is updated each week on www.FertilizerPricing.com. “This value-weighted series uses U.S. Gulf Coast Urea, Cornbelt Potash and NOLA Barge DAP prices as benchmarks,” says Neil Fleishman, CFA, Green Markets Senior Industry Analyst. “The index is weighted against the annual global demand of each nutrient since 2002. For current year pricing, we use fertilizer demand forecasts from the Green Markets Global Supply & Demand models.” For more information on the U.S. Fertilizer Price Index or to learn how Green Markets can help eliminate your uncertainty in pricing trends of fertilizers, contact Jonathan Wentworth-Ping, director of sales, at jping@Green-Markets.com or call 1.603.357.8160.
