Agrium announces $20/st potash increase

Agrium Inc. announced that it is increasing potash prices by $20/st across all price zones, effective Aug. 23. The move follows a similar increase from PotashCorp earlier in August, when the company reported that it was sold out for the third quarter following “a very strong response” to its potash fill program, and is now taking orders only for October delivery or after at prices that are $20/st above the summer fill level.
