(ZEROHEDGE) – Spot prices for nitrogen fertilizer on the US Gulf Coast skyrocketed to a near-decade high on a report the world's largest nitrogen manufacturing plant declared force majeure.
CF Industries Holdings Inc. in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, closed its massive complex ahead of Hurricane Ida. The complex has 19 plants, including six ammonia and five urea facilities, producing nitrogen-based products for agricultural and industrial markets.
According to the letter seen by Bloomberg, CF Industries said, "due to these circumstances, CF Industries Sales, LLC has declared an event of force majeure affecting the production and shipment of product from the CF Donaldsonville, LA nitrogen complex."
