Brazil Potash Corp announced recently the execution of a definitive commercial offtake agreement between Potassio do Brasil Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, and Keytrade Fertilizantes Brasil Ltda, the Brazilian subsidiary of Keytrade AG, one of the world's leading fertilizer trading companies.

The binding agreement establishes a 10-year take-or-pay commitment for Keytrade to purchase up to 900,000 tons of potash annually from Brazil Potash's Autazes Potash Project.

"This agreement with Keytrade is a major milestone in Brazil Potash's commercial development," Matt Simpson, CEO of Brazil Potash, said. "Combined with our existing take-or-pay agreement with Agaggi Exportacao Ltda, we now have binding commitments for 1.45 million tons of our planned 2.4 million tons of annual production."

Also, Tuesday at the Farm Progress Show, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced a new ammonia fertilizer plant to be built in the state. See DTN Ag Policy Editor Chris Clayton's coverage here: https://www.dtnpf.com/….
