# Mosaic - Mosaic Announces Temporary Curtailment at Its Esterhazy Potash Mine

> Mosaic will temporarily curtail production at its Esterhazy potash mine, bringing total announced potash curtailments to up to 600,000 tonnes. The company cited rising inventories from a short-term slowdown in global potash markets and the risk of delayed Chinese contract settlement. Mosaic estimates a fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA hit of about $150 million if the full cut is realized.

## Why it matters

Removing up to 600,000 tonnes of supply tightens potash availability and supports prices if inventories clear. Delays in Chinese contract settlement remain the key uncertainty for pricing.
