I agree that shortages are generally man made in order to drive up prices. These artificially created shortages create panic buying, and obviously those in the know make a lot of money. Whether fertiliser is really in short supply or not remains to be seen. The Chinese increase in their export tariff would appear to indicate that the shortage is not only real, but will last for some time. As for MAK, we may have hit the bottom today at $2.23. We'll see what happens next week.
