SOP vs.MOP The fourth quarter average MOP selling price, FOB plant, was $295 per tonne, down from $303 per tonne a year ago as a result of a higher percentage of lower priced international sales.
for example,Compass Minerals,only US SOP Producer reported averege Q4 /14 SOP price was 719$ per ton or 793$/t(per tonne)
Average sales price 2014(per ton) $682 or 752$/t(per tonne) and
OUTLOOK for 1 H/15
Plant Nutrition Segment
Volumes 180,000 to 200,000 tons
Average Selling Price (per ton)$750 to $780 or 827-860 $ /t (per tonne) Operating Earnings Margin 23% to 25%
I maintain,Mosaic needs a new segment, SOP is the option,
POTASH RIDGE is the best option!
