Nutrien Ltd., Saskatoon, has announced temporary layoffs of over 600 employees and the idling of production at its Allan and Vanscoy potash mines in Saskatchewan, according to Bloomberg, with the company citing a need to manage inventory amid rail shipment challenges.
“We don’t really think it’s going to impact our potash output for the year,” a spokesman said. He said the return to operations will depend on rail capacity. The company said rail delays have caused inventories to pile up and Nutrien is working with the railways to ship what it can. However, a spokesperson for Canadian National, which handles most of the rail deliveries from the two mines told the CBC that it is current with all deliveries at Nutrien and its orders. CN acknowledged delays in January but maintained that it was able to rebound in February and March and move all orders for Nutrien and Canpotex.
