Crop and fertilizer prices expected to remain strong

摘要

Speakers at The Fertilizer Outlook and Technology Conference at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay in Tampa on Nov. 6-8 projected a rosy picture for both crop and most fertilizer prices well into the future. The meeting was a combination of The Fertilizer Institute's Fertilizer Outlook Conference and the Fertilizer Industry Round Table's 57th Annual Meeting. The overall message was that it's a good time to be a farmer or in the fertilizer business. Production and prices were expected to remain strong for all grains, and fertilizer use and prices were anticipated to continue increasing overall. Although some of the speakers used different estimates for crop projections in terms of acres planted, yields, and prices, all were essentially positive. Consumption of fertilizers to make those estimates come true was expected to increase, and so will prices for most.
