## Why it matters

Keeping Aurora preserves North American phosphate production, while the forecast of constrained potash and nitrogen supplies points to tighter availability and potential price support in those markets. The closure of the Florida facility may also reduce phosphate supply, though no market-wide volume estimate is given.
