For the second quarter, we expect potash sales volumes toward the high end of the previous guidance range of 2.0-2.2 million tonnes, reflecting the impact of strong spring demand in North America. For pricing, we now expect realized MOP prices at the mine near the low end of our previous range of $325-$375 per tonne. Our updated pricing guidance incorporates the recent China contract settlement of $307 per tonne.
In Phosphates, we expect sales volumes to be near the low end of our previous guidance range of 1.8-2.0 million tonnes. Following strong demand for the spring season, North American customers are deferring inventory restocking to the third quarter. Realized DAP prices on a FOB basis are expected at the high end of our previous guidance range of $550-$600 per tonne. Results for the quarter are expected to reflect the capture higher-priced sales early in the quarter.
