Shares of fertilizer companies jumped after Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that it was necessary to resolve a potash dispute with Belarus.

These were Putin's first comments since potash group Uralkali quit the Russia-Belarus trading agreement in July - rocking the global potash industry and sparking a diplomatic and trade row that led to Belarus arresting Uralkali's head Vladislav Baumgertner.
