Potash

As the world’s population rises, access to arable land decreases and diets improve, potash is essential for more sustainable farming. At a time when fertilisers enriched by potash are critical for food security and well positioned to play a role in addressing global demand.

What is potash?

Potash, specifically Muriate of Potash (MOP), is a potassium-rich salt used to improve agricultural production. Potassium is essential for plant health as it increases yields, improves water efficiency and improves pest and disease resistance.  

Why is potash needed?

Potassium naturally occurs in soil, but farming depletes this mineral faster than naturally occurring sources can replenish it. Regular use of potash helps maintain the productivity of fields that have lost nutrients from years of repeated nutrient removal through harvest.
