> Europe's largest phosphate fertilizer maker is increasing sales to the U.S. after a rival, Mosaic, shut an aging plant and the U.S. phosphate market swung into deficit. The producer has already sold 500,000 metric tons in the U.S. this year, approaching its full prior-year volume of 600,000 tons.
