Primary research
CRU's fertilizer analysts have visited around 100 plants over the last few years as part of their primary research. This allows them to build very good relationships with the plant managers and engineers and to gain a thorough understand of the plant's operations, efficiencies, profit margins and where improvements can be made. The primary research is then fed into our cost reports and market outlooks and underpinned by a robust methodology.
