Lifosa Stops Production, Aims to Resume in November

Lithuanian phosphate fertilizer producer AB Lifosa, a subsidiary of EuroChem Group AG, halted production at Kėdainiai on Sept. 14 due to a shortage of ammonia, the country’s Postedia reported.

However, the company expects to reach an agreement with ammonia suppliers on its ammonia requirements, and hopes to be able to resume operations in November, according to the report.

Lifosa’s plans to halt operations in mid-September were announced on Sept. 8 (GM Sept. 9, p. 28).
