Beijing nears decision on Potash bid

The Chinese government is close to a decision on how it plans to fight mining behemoth BHP Billiton Ltd. for control over the world’s largest potash producer, Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. 

China is considering a number of key proposals from state-owned firms, including how to structure the deal and what price it must pay to beat BHP’s $38.6-billion (U.S.) hostile bid, according to sources familiar with the situation.

While China hasn’t said for sure that it will bid, sources say the Asian superpower is “very, very interested” in making an offer to both upset BHP’s plans to take control of the potash market as well as to secure its own source of the coveted crop nutrient.

A Chinese government decision on which bid it will put forward could come by the end of the month, before a week of national holidays in China that begins on Oct. 1.

Farhad's working the numbers for the best deal for AAA.
