Potash, one of the most important ingredients used in fertilizer, is another commodity produced heavily by Russia (Canada is the world’s top producer).
Russia’s involvement in the supply of potash, as well as recent trade sanctions against the country, have experts predicting a potential supply shortage. This could lead to an increase in the share price of potash companies.
The best potash stocks depend on your portfolio and investment goals — while volatility can be ideal for day traders, long-term investors will want to look to stocks with steadier gains over time.

What is the Finder Score?
The Finder Score crunches 147 key metrics we collected directly from 18+ brokers and assessed each provider’s performance based on nine different categories, weighing each metric based on the expertise and insights of Finder’s investment experts. We then scored and ranked each provider to determine the best brokerage accounts.
We update our best picks as products change, disappear or emerge in the market. We also regularly review and revise our selections to ensure our best provider lists reflect the most competitive available.
While it’s possible to turn a profit investing in potash stocks, keep in mind that — like any investment — potash stocks are not immune to risk. These stocks are subject to fluctuating conditions — both in the market and in the minerals industry, so carefully vet your picks before you invest. And if you’re new to investing, or if it’s been awhile since you’ve taken a critical look at your investing accounts, compare brokers to make sure you’re getting the best features in your trading account.
