Some say price assessment is a thankless task. There is a grain of truth in that statement. When buyers and sellers use prices to settle physical or financial contracts, there will almost always be one counterparty who would like the published number to be something different.

When the industry trusts and accepts your independent assessments, they will increasingly become commonplace in contracts. And that is what we are seeing across the globe: more and more companies are choosing to price off Fertilizer Week assessments for urea, phosphates, ammonia, sulphur and other products.

Optimise your pricing strategies and negotiate with confidence using our comprehensive services.
