  • CUTS Comments on Form IV Submitted by The
    SUBMISSION OF COMMENTS ON PROPOSED COMBINATION OF AGRIUM INC AND POTASH CORPORATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INC CUTS International (www.cuts-international.org) is an independent, non-profit economic policy research and outreach organisation. It works towards improvement in quality of regulation, competition and governance across sectors with the objective of enhancing consumer welfare. I. SETTING THE CONTEXT - INDIA’S DEPENDENCY ON POTASH IMPORTS The backbone of India‟s economy is agriculture, which contributes to over 22 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and provides livelihood to two-thirds of the population.1 With rapidly increasing population, achieving food security is a constant challenge and dependence on agricultural inputs such as fertilisers has continuously seen an upward trend. The global average demand for total fertilizer nutrients is estimated to grow at 1.8 percent per annum from 2014 to 2018, and the demand for potash is expected to grow at a rate of 2.6 percent per annum.2 Moreover, the regional demand growth for potash in South Asia is expected to be 4.9 percent (2014-2018), only second to the African region.3 In the coming months of 2017-18, market experts predict that consumption of fertilisers in India will increase, raising the demand by 5 percent in FY18.4 Notably, one of the major crop nutrients utilised entirely for the fertiliser industry in India is Potash. However, Indian reserves of Potash are not commercially exploitable and the entire demand for the mineral is met from other counties making India 100% dependent on imports in case of Potash.5 Globally, India is the 4th largest importer of potash (See Table 1).
