Uralkali’s 3Q potash production of 3 million metric tons is negative for global potash peers, says BMO analyst Joel Jackson. Uralkali’s S-2 mine had been flooded, but flood, what flood, BMO asks, pointing out that year-to-date production is only down 500,000 tons. “There is still some confusion over how much potash ore is used for backfilling, but any way you slice it, it’s negative for global potash peers, as Uralkali seems to have been overly conservative, or possibly understating, in estimating post-flood potash capacity this year,” says BMO.
