Most seem to have forgotten that Vale sold its shares in Fosfertil a few years back before the price spikes. The acquisition will deliver access to vital domestic supplies of superphosphates for a high consumption market. The investment case is considered extremely strong. <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"EN-GB;\"><span style=\"Calibri;\">Rumours of a Brazilian\u00a0nationalised fertiliser company have been rife throughout the Brazilian farming community for the last couple of years. Vale taking a majority stake in Fosfertil will do much to calm political nerves as a major domestic fertilizer provider is back in Brazilian hands. Arable farming margins in Brazil have improved since the time of extreme high fertilizer prices in 2007 &amp; 2008. Fertilizer price spikes are unlikely to repeat them selves in the short term but a steady increase is realistic and palatable. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vale&#8217;s acquisition to reduce anxiety over fertilizers in Brazil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cardy-brown.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
