NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global potash market is expected to continue to grow at a substantial pace in the coming years. As the world's population grows, the demand for food also increases. Farmers increase their agricultural productivity and enhance crop yields to meet this demand. Potash is essential for providing the necessary nutrients that crops need to thrive. It enhances root development, nutrient absorption, and overall plant growth. The U.S. has a thriving agricultural sector, with various crops cultivated across its vast farmlands. Potash is a critical nutrient required for optimal crop growth and productivity. As a result, the demand for the U.S. remains consistently high due to the need to support the agricultural industry's output and meet the growing demand for food and farming products. The market in the U.S. exhibits a strong and consistent demand driven by the agricultural sector's needs, major crop cultivation, soil fertility maintenance, precision agriculture adoption, specialty crop cultivation, technological advancements, and government support. These factors collectively contribute to the sustained product demand, ensuring a stable and thriving market in the U.S.  A report from Grand View Research said that the global potash market size was estimated at USD 62,374.0 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 93,501.2 million in 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2032. The increasing population directly impacts the demand for food and agricultural products, which, in turn, influences the market.   Active Companies in the mining industry this week include Brazil Potash Corp. (NYSE American: GRO), Millennial Potash Corp. (OTCQB: MLPNF) (TSXV: MLP), Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE: NTR) (TSX: NTR), The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS), Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE: IPI).

The Grand View Research report said: “The market plays a critical role in global agriculture, as potash is a primary source of potassium, an essential nutrient for plant growth. It is most commonly used in the form of potassium chloride (KCl), accounting for most of the potash consumed worldwide. The market is primarily driven by the increasing global demand for food, which necessitates higher crop yields and soil fertility management. Potash improves plant health, enhances drought and disease resistance, and increases crop production quality and quantity. Key consuming regions include Asia Pacific (especially China and India), Latin America, and North America, where large-scale commercial farming dominates.” It concluded: “The growing global population is increasing the demand for food, which drives the need for higher agricultural productivity. Potash, as a key source of potassium, helps improve crop yield, water retention, and resistance to pests and diseases. This makes it essential for intensive farming practices, particularly in nutrient-depleted soils. Due to expanding cultivation needs, large agricultural economies like India, China, and Brazil are major growth drivers.”

Other recent developments in the mining markets include:

Millennial Potash Corp. (TSXV: MLP) (OTCQB: MLPNF) recently announced that it has received analytical results for drillhole BA-004 at its Banio Potash Project in Gabon. Hole BA-004 intersected an impressive 101.45m cumulative metres of carnallitite seams averaging 16.8% KCl, using a 13% cut-off grade. The 101.45m of rich carnallitite seams are situated within evaporite Cycles II to Cycle VIII which are hosted by the Salt Sequence stratigraphy at the project. This cumulative potash thickness of 101.45m compares very favourably with the 112.5m cumulative thickness intersected in BA-001-EXT and significantly exceeds the +70m cumulative thicknesses encountered in drillholes BA-002-EXT and BA-003 completed in 2024.

Farhad Abasov, Millennial's Chair, commented "Millennial is excited to announce the assay results for hole BA-004 containing over 101m cumulative potash thickness with an average grade of 16.8% KCl. Our drill program keeps generating significant results demonstrating consistency and continuity of potash cycles in this part of the project area. In addition to very thick potash horizons, it is also encouraging to see potash grades reaching 29% KCl over some cycles. This potash seams in this drillhole are significantly thicker than the approximately 70m thick cumulative zone delineated in holes BA-002-EXT and BA-003 as reported in 2024 and are in line with the impressive 112m zone intersected in BA-001-EXT. These consistent and remarkable results reinforce Millennial's confidence in Banio's potential to expand its current Mineral Resource Estimate and highlight the project's exciting development trajectory. We intend to update our Mineral Resource Estimate soon as all the assay results have been received. I would like to congratulate our technical team on the successful completion of the Phase II drill program."
