Mosaic will temporarily curtail production at its Esterhazy potash mine in Saskatchewan. Combined with an earlier curtailment, total cuts reach up to 600,000 metric tons.
The company cited rising inventories, a short-term slowdown in global potash markets and a risk of delayed Chinese contract settlement.
Cutting up to 600,000 mt of supply reduces near-term potash availability and supports prices if the cuts are realized. Mosaic still expects a strong Brazil and North America application season.
