Yara curtails ammonia production due to increased natural gas prices

Oslo, 17 September 2021: Record high natural gas prices in Europe are impacting ammonia production margins, and as a result Yara is curtailing production at a number of its plants. Including optimization of on-going maintenance, Yara will by next week have curtailed around 40% of its European ammonia production capacity.

Yara will continue to monitor the situation, with the objective to keep supplying customers but curtailing production where necessary.
