Canpotex confirms it has concluded new potash supply contracts with its Chinese customers for shipments of 1.4 million MT through to the end of 2017. Settlement prices represent an US$11/MT increase over 2016 prices.

“We are pleased to finalize supply contracts with our diversified customer base in China,” said Ken Seitz, President and CEO of Canpotex. “We continue to see strong global demand for potash, and we look forward to continuing to support China’s growing potash needs."

The planned maintenance work scheduled for May at Neptune Terminals, Canpotex’s Vancouver terminal facility, has been successfully completed. Strong demand continues in the export potash markets and, as a result, Canpotex is now fully committed on sales through the end of July 2017.

Canpotex recently concluded pricing for a sale to Brazil for shipment in April at a new higher level of US$ 258/MT CFR, reflecting continued improvement in the market over the past several months.

Neptune Terminals, Canpotex's loading facility in Vancouver, B.C., will be conducting some planned maintenance during the month of May on potash-related infrastructure which will reduce potash load out capabilities during that month.

Due to continued positive agricultural fundamentals and strong potash demand in export markets, Canpotex is now fully committed on planned shipment volumes through the end of April 2017.

As positive agricultural fundamentals continue to strongly support potash usage in Brazil, Canpotex has finalized pricing for some smaller volumes to this major market at a new price level of US$ 250.00/MT CFR reflecting the increased demand that has been present since last year and which is continuing as we move into the second quarter of 2017.

Canpotex has finalized pricing with our Japanese customers for 1st half 2017 shipments at an increase over the 2nd half 2016 price levels. The new agreement reflects an average price equivalent to over US$ 300/MT CFR Japan depending on grade.

Canpotex has confirmed recent sales of over 50,000 MT of potash to Brazil at US$ 245/MT CFR. Fertilizer demand in Brazil reached record high levels in 2016 and such demand is expected to remain at or even exceed these record high levels in 2017.

Potash demand in all export market regions continues to be strong into 2017, and Canpotex is already fully committed on planned shipment volumes through the end of March 31, 2017. Estimates of opening potash inventory levels in all major export market regions are lower than last year's comparisons, providing a strong base of demand into 2017.

The Canpotex Board of Directors has approved a new methodology for determining the amount of increased productive capacity resulting from such completed major mine expansions as its producers may independently decide to undertake. The aggregate productive capacities of Canpotex producers are used in determining their respective export sales entitlements through Canpotex.
