The Mosaic Co. said Sept. 11 that it expects its third quarter 2017 phosphates production volumes to be impacted by damage to facilities and disruptions in the supply chain. It is not making phosphate price offers to domestic or international customers until it has a better understanding of product availability and its ability to ship product. It said it will provide an estimate for lost production once assessments are complete.
A warehouse containing finished fertilizer was damaged at the Bartow facility and Mosaic is assessing the amount of product that has been damaged. A picture is on the company website. Damage at all other facilities appears to be more minor based on preliminary assessments.
No serious environmental incidents have been reported.
