K+S will cut potash fertiliser production by up to 300,000 tonnes by year-end, reducing core earnings by as much as 80 million euros. The company attributed the decision to a weak market and continuing Chinese import bans on standard potassium chloride.
K+S said the cut was the right decision despite being difficult.
Chinese import restrictions are depressing global potash demand, and producers cutting output signals continued weak pricing. This is a bearish signal for potash prices through the end of the year.
