Population growth and an increasing global appetite for meat will fuel a steady increase in demand for feed phosphates for the foreseeable future. Rick Brasnett, Manager Market Research for PotashCorp, told the Fertilizer Institute's 2003 Fertilizer Outlook Conference at Washington, DC in November that dical/monocal consumption is expected to grow at about 1.7 percent annually through 2006 while DFP is expected to grow at a slightly higher rate of 2 percent annually. Growth is being driven by rising world population and incomes, but consumer preference and food health and safety issues are also factors. Brasnett said US broiler production and exports have been trending sharply upward because of health concerns over red meat fueled successive crises over mad cow disease and foot and mouth disease in Europe.
