Agrium Inc. confirmed that one of its employees was injured while working at the company’s Vanscoy potash facility in Saskatchewan early on Aug. 21. Site emergency crews responded to the incident and treated the employee before he was transported by STARS air ambulance to a local hospital, where he is listed in stable condition. Agrium said the incident is under investigation by Agrium and local authorities. The mine was shut down temporarily due to the incident, but is now operating again.
Agrium Inc. announced that it is increasing potash prices by $20/st across all price zones, effective Aug. 23. The move follows a similar increase from PotashCorp earlier in August, when the company reported that it was sold out for the third quarter following “a very strong response” to its potash fill program, and is now taking orders only for October delivery or after at prices that are $20/st above the summer fill level.
