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.
The heart of this trust is a detailed and transparent methodology. At Fertilizer Week, price assessment and accurate market reporting is the core of what we do. We follow our methodology and explain how we arrive at the published price. We understand our position of responsibility. We take our role in the market seriously. Our customers can trust what we do.
