Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matt DiLallo]
The reason Monsanto and its peers even exist is to help farmers produce more crops from less land in order to feed the world's growing population. There are other ways to invest in a solution to these agricultural issues; some investors might find a more palpable investment opportunity with fertilizer makers Agrium (NYSE: AGU ) or PotashCorp (NYSE: POT ) .
- [By Neha Chamaria]
Which companies are in danger?
Members of Canpotex --�PotashCorp (NYSE: POT ) , Mosaic (NYSE: MOS ) , and Agrium (NYSE: AGU ) �-- are the worst hit when India slows down potash purchases, since Canpotex controls all potash exports out of Saskatchewan, Canada. Similarly, marketing association, PhosChem handles phosphate exports from the U.S., so its two members, PotashCorp and Mosaic, bear the brunt of lower sales in that regard, too.
