Slovakia’s Top Fertilizer Plant Cuts Output as Gas Soars

Slovakia’s largest fertilizer producer said it’s curbing ammonia output after natural gas prices surged, in another sign that the Middle East conflict is starting to hit the industry in Europe.

Duslo AS has cut ammonia production to the “technical minimum,” while continuing to produce fertilizer, according to Chief Executive Officer Pavel Hanus. The company has the capacity to produce 1,600 tons of ammonia a day.
