Platts to modify European Fertilizer Report, effective July 4

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is making two modifications to the European Fertilizer Report to streamline the publication.

First, Platts is consolidating the existing nine European Market Commentaries (Benelux, Germany, Ireland, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Eastern Europe and Agriculture) into five market commentaries. These will be divided as follows:

• A Southwest Europe Market Commentary covering Spain and Italy
• A Northwest Europe Market Commentary covering France, Germany and Benelux
• A UK and Ireland Market Commentary
• An Eastern Europe Market Commentary covering Eastern Europe and Turkey
• An EMEA Agriculture Commentary

This change will simplify the delivery of information in the report without affecting the scope of coverage.

Platts will also remove the European trade data in the second half of the European Fertilizer Report, as the trade data is already available to subscribers via S&P Global's Global Trade Atlas. Platts will also continue to report on trade developments in news stories and commentaries.

These changes will go into effect as of the July 4 edition of the European Fertilizer Report. They were previously outlined in a proposal note published May 16, available here.
