SASKATOON, SK PRNewswire-FirstCall – Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) announced today that Canpotex Limited (Canpotex), the offshore marketing company for Saskatchewan potash producers, and Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert), a leading fertilizer enterprise in the People's Republic of China (PRC), have reached an agreement on 2007 prices pursuant to the 2007- 2009 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that exists between the two companies. Canpotex ships primarily red standard grade potash, but also supplies certain amounts of white standard grade and granular product. This agreement sets the price for red standard grade potash at US $5 per tonne higher than the 2006 price. Volumes will again be based on 2007 market demand in China, as the MOU provides Canpotex with at least 30 percent market share for potash imported into China. This increase, combined with gains made in the 2006 and 2005 pricing agreements, raises the price of potash to China by a total of US $70 per tonne over the last three years.
