Price Chart
How this year compares, month by month, to the typical pattern of recent years for the selected region.
"World" is the global benchmark price (World Bank Pink Sheet, monthly since 1960, where available). Currency conversion uses monthly ECB reference rates since 1999 (some currencies joined later) — for comparison, not precise historical FX accounting. "Inflation-adjusted (real)" rescales each historical price to the purchasing power of the most recent month using the US CPI-U (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, not seasonally adjusted) — applied the same way regardless of which currency a price is displayed in, since CPI-U measures general US price levels, not an exchange rate. A rough, standard way to compare prices across decades, not a substitute for a commodity-specific or country-specific deflator.
About Potassium Chloride (Potash)
The main potassium fertilizer, essential for root development and drought tolerance. Production is even more concentrated than phosphate: Canada, Russia and Belarus together supply most of the world market, which is why sanctions on Belarus and Russia after 2022 caused a sharp price spike and reshuffled global trade flows toward Canadian supply.
