We saw solid demandwithin the first 3 quarters of 2014, which has enabled us to increasesubstantially our sales of both phosphate- and nitrogen-based fertilizers. Wecontinue to adapt our product mix in response to demand and the pricingenvironment, which has significantly improved from last year, increasing toover USD 500 during the summer before softening slightly towards the endSeptember on the back of low crop prices. Nonetheless, the price of a tonne ofDAP (FOB Tampa) remains 30% higher than it was in mid-October last year at USD470 per tonne now vs. USD 360 per tonne a year ago. "Looking forward to the remainder of 2014, we are going into a quiet period asthe main agricultural markets are moving out of season. However, the low exportwindow in China closed last week. Ammonia has peaked at USD 640 per tonne inthe US, USD 630 in North Africa and above USD 680 in Europe; sulphur remainsaround USD 150 per tonne in most regions. As a result, we see big producerscutting output. All these developments would, in our view, be strong offsettingfactors against any significant price decreases in the low season environment.With our low cost position, I feel comfortable with respect to our financialperformance and operations through the rest of this year."
