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.

Bottom line
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.
