Not 'enormous' perhaps but a sale of c$50m pa from year four of which profit is c$35m pa would be good news at any stage in a company's cycle. Two/three more of this size and the debt will be sorted and Sirius' footprint better represented globally
Concluding remarks The results of the potted rice experiment provide convincing evidence that polyhalite, a natural complex mineral, is an effective fertilizer in supplying Ca, Mg, S, and K on Oxisol - a low nutrient sandy soil. Polyhalite was equal in supporting plant growth, development and nutrient uptake to the corresponding soluble salts (Figs. 1-3). Consequently, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture authorized the use of polyhalite as an agricultural fertilizer in 2015. The soybean field trial presented here suggests that polyhalite has adequate solubility to reach and promote an active crop rhizosphere when applied to the top soil layer (Fig. 4). Thus, polyhalite is a fertilizer with considerable potential to improve production within no-tillage systems, where soils exhibit significant Ca and Mg deficiency in the subsurface layers. Moreover, polyhalite emerges as a relevant K fertilizer, with equal efficiency to KCl and without the adverse effects of chloride, making it more suitable for use on certain soils and for certain crop species. Yet, the major advantage of polyhalite is in the delivery of S, an essential nutrient which until recently, has often been overlooked. Brazil�s leading crops - sugarcane (Oliveira, 2011), soybean (Gutierrez Boem et al., 2007), corn (Ciampitti et al., 2013), and cotton (Reiter, 2013) - require significant S inputs, as do other important crops including wheat (Zhao et al., 1999) and peanut (Tam et al., 2016). In accordance, new field trials have recently been launched in Brazil for soybean, corn, cotton, sugarcane, coffee, orange, banana, onion, cabbage, and potato crops, with the purpose of consolidating the potential of polyhalite as an important fertilizer for Brazilian crops.
