weltweit. die Nachricht kam vorhin: Uralkali kürzt auch. 500.000t weniger. Produktionsverknappung wird den Preis stabil halten, letzlich profitiert K+S im nächsten Jahr wieder voll.
MOSCOW, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Russian potash miner Uralkali will cut production of potash fertilisers by 500,000 tonnes this year to 4.9 million tonnes due to adverse market conditions, it said on Thursday. The company previously reported an output rise of 7.3 percent in the first nine months of 2008 to 4.03 million tonnes. "The decision ... is prompted by the current decrease in potash fertilisers purchase in the global market... The planned reduction in production offers Uralkali a good opportunity to repair and modernise its facilities that for the last several years have been used at their full capacity," it said. "Liquidity crisis is hindering the farmers' ability to purchase and use fertilisers," it added. Uralkali's Belarus-based export agent, Belarussian Potash Company, supplies around a third of the world's potash exports. |
