Universal Potash Corporation (UPCO.PK) is solely dedicated to increasing shareholder value and on becoming a key player in meeting the growing challenge of feeding the world. They are an exploration stage mining company that focuses its efforts on “potash”, a mixture of potassium salt with an impure form of potassium carbonate which is primarily used as a crop nutrient. The potassium it contains strengthens plant stalks and roots and helps crops fight disease and injury. In addition, potash also adds color, flavor, and improves texture in foods. Potash is used in a variety of products such as soap as well as in computers monitors to say the least.
The term “potash” itself comes from the pioneer practice of extracting potassium fertilizer (K2CO3) by leaching wood ashes and evaporating the solution in large iron pots. It can be found bearing in rock deposits in many regions of the world. Mostly, these rock deposits derived from the minerals in ancient seas that dried up millions of years ago.
The reason why a company would choose to focus its mining efforts on potash can be puzzling to many!
The truth is that many are unaware of the uses that this particular ingredient has on many of the products we commonly use. For example, it is used to produce glass, ceramics, it is a key function of in feed supplements that stimulate animal growth and milk production, and so forth. In fact, 95% of the world’s potash is used in fertilizers while the rest is used for feed supplements and for industrial purposes.
In all, Potash has three main uses: fertilizer, livestock feed supplements and industrial processes.
Just recently, Univeral Potash saw an increase in its demand as prices approach $500 per metric ton. The potash market is getting most of its support from the U.S. demand for corn, a fertilizer intensive crop which is being grown for ethanol, as well as the sugar cane.
Its demand has been progressively rising especially now that the products that it is integrated in are increasing in demand. Universal Potash foresaw a prospering business opportunity that can provide the world’s most needed and used products. Even though this industry is not being given the recognition it ultimately deserves, this company has established itself in a prospering industry destined for greatness!!
