Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to discontinue two North American Potash price assessments, effective Jan. 28, 2026.

This proposal follows a review of American Potash market dynamics and trade flows, with a focus on key fertilizer-producing and consuming regions.

The assessments proposed for discontinuation are:
