Nutrien Announces Potash Production Curtailments Due to Port of Vancouver Strike
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan Nutrien Ltd. (TSX and NYSE: NTR) announced today that it has curtailed production at its Cory potash mine due to the
loss of export capacity through Canpotexs Neptune terminal as a result of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Canada strike at the Port of Vancouver.
Nutrien expects full-year 2023 Potash adjusted EBITDA will fall below the bottom end of its previous guidance range due to factors impacting offshore sales
through Canpotex, including the ILWU strike, Portland terminal outage and lower global potash prices than previously anticipated. We will provide updated full-year 2023 guidance reflecting these impacts at the time of our second quarter results on
Wednesday, August 2, 2023.
The disruption at the Port of Vancouver has resulted in the curtailment of production at our Cory potash mine and if
prolonged could also impact production at our other potash mines in Saskatchewan. We urge the parties in this dispute to come to a swift resolution to prevent further damage to the Canadian economy, said Ken Seitz, Nutriens President and
CEO.
