Potash prices have stabilized and looking up The gloomy clouds that cast shadows over the global potash market last summer after the breakup of the Russian/Belarusian BPC cartel have not collided and the stormy forecasts have changed for far more agreeable forecasts. The conflict between Russian and Belarusian potash producers threatened to flood the market with quantity, undoing the oil like cartel pricing system that has worked so effectively in the past decade. The reasons for the disintegration of BPC turned out to be more complex, extending far beyond potash into bilateral Russo-Belarusian relations. Close ties between the new president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, and Belarus’s President Alexander Lukashenko, have not discouraged talks to revive the BPC cartel. In April, Lukashenko is believed to have held very “constructive” talks with new Uralkali co-owner Dmitry Mazepin about bringing back the Belarus Potash Company, or BPC, joint venture. Such a development would certainly help to boost potash prices to at least 2012 levels. The main obstacles are no longer political or diplomatic (the BPC breakup was a full scale diplomatic incident); simply, Uralkali wants to ensure that its shareholders get the best possible deal while moving the new BPC headquarters from Minsk in Belarus to Switzerland. The potential for sanctions to be applied to Russian potash, meanwhile, remains even if so far, its importance to the European Union suggests this resource will be kept out of geopolitics for the time being. The EU issued a list of critical raw materials last week: phosphate (though more generally meaning mineral fertilizers) was one of the six. -

Cartels and Competition in Minerals Markets: Challenges for Global Governance Contents

This paper provides an overview of the main sources of distortions in these markets and examines their impact on prices and consumer countries. It also explores avenues where enhanced international coordination could contribute to better governance, increased transparency and fewer damaging distortions in these markets. There is no prospect of a widespread revival of 1970s-style cartels, but countries should work to dismantle the remaining exceptions. Potash, which is dominated by two state-backed private export corporations, is currently the only openly cartelized mineral market. For many producer- country governments, painful lessons from the attempts to establish cartels in the 1970s serve as a powerful deterrent. Russia and South Africa have announced plans for a platinum cartel, but even this exceptional proposal remains vague and its implementation is unlikely. -

Crisis in Belarus: Distinguishing Cause and Consequence in World Context—Transcription Hosted by the International Manifesto Group, December 13 2020
Crisis in Belarus: Distinguishing Cause and Consequence in World Context—Transcription Hosted by the International Manifesto group, December 13 2020. Speakers: Jarosław Dobrzański, Pavel Katarzheuski, Boris Kagarlitsky, Mick Dunford & Bruno Drweski Moderator: Radhika Desai Radhika Desai Welcome to the International Manifesto Group panel on the “Crisis in Belarus: Distinguishing Cause and Consequence in World Context.” My name is Radhika Desai. I convene the International Manifesto Group, which is really an informal group of people across the world who have been meeting and discussing the fast-paced changes in the world that we have been witnessing since the start of the pandemic. And every so often, as today, we put our deliberations on live and we also invite guests and so on. So, today we want to discuss the crisis in Belarus. The crisis has been going on for some months now and much remains very uncertain, despite the length of the crisis. Discerning the exact contours of this uncertainty is made difficult of course by the continuing degeneration of the press in the West—assailed as much by paucity of resources when corporate profits take precedence as by partisanship that the same corporate interests often require. At the domestic level, the protests continue and the Western press reports mass arrests, even continuing until today. But the overall direction of the opposition and the direction in which it would take Belarus is not clear. Nor is the social basis or the social identity of the opposition clear. And nor is it clear what are the forces that continue to support the Lukashenko administration. -
