Seeking Alpha: Yara International Offers A Tricky Balance Of Quality And Value

There's more to Yara International (OTCPK:YARIY) than run-of-the-mill commodity fertilizers, but I have to wonder whether the market is already sufficiently pricing in the advantages of the company's increasing leverage to value-added and specialty products.

I don't want to undersell the company's ability to leverage lower input costs and premiums for its nitrate and NK sales, but the valuation already appears to factor in a pretty healthy recovery from this trough.
