|
•
|
Global macro-economic conditions and shifting dynamics, including trade tariffs and restrictions and increased price competition, or a significant change in agriculture production or consumption trends
could lead to a sustained environment of reduced demand for potash, and/or low commodity prices, favoring competitors;
|
•
|
Brazil Potash products will be subject to price competition from both domestic and foreign potash producers, including state-owned and government-subsidized entities;
|
•
|
Potash is a global commodity with little or no product differentiation, and customers make their purchasing decisions principally on the basis of delivered price and, to a lesser extent, on customer service
and product quality;
|
•
|
Competitors and potential new entrants in the markets for potash have in recent years expanded capacity, begun construction of new capacity, or announced plans to expand capacity or build new facilities;
and
|
•
|
Some Potash customers require access to credit to purchase potash and a lack of available credit to customers in one or more countries, due to this deterioration, could adversely affect demand for crop
nutrients as there may a reluctance to replenish inventories in such conditions or may push customers to other producers.
