Potash to Extend Production Cuts With Allan Mine Shutdown

Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc., the world’s largest fertilizer producer by market value, will extend cuts in potash output as buyers of the crop nutrient delay purchases.

Potash Corp., which announced temporary shutdowns at two other mines in Canada last month, plans a four-week shutdown at its Allan operation in Saskatchewan starting Feb. 4, Bill Johnson, a spokesman for Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based Potash Corp., said today in an interview.
