Yara to further reduce its total ammonia capacity utilization in Europe to 35 percent due to record high gas prices in Europe

(PRESS RELEASE) OSLO, 25-Aug-2022 — /EuropaWire/ — Yara International ASA, a global firm specializing in agricultural products and environmental protection agents and a leading global ammonia player, has announced the decision to further reduce the company’s total European ammonia capacity utilization to 35 percent due to record high gas prices in Europe. As a result, Yara will now have curtailed an annual capacity equivalent of 3.1 million tonnes ammonia and 4.0 million tonnes finished products (1.8 million tonnes urea, 1.9 million tonnes nitrates and 0.3 million tonnes NPK) across its production system in Europe.

Yara will where possible use its global sourcing and production system to optimize operations and meet customer demand, including continued nitrate production using imported ammonia when feasible. Yara will continue to monitor the situation and adapt to market conditions going forward.
