March 27 (Reuters) - Fertilizer manufacturer Mosaic
said on Wednesday that the production impact of a
brushfire at its Riverview phosphate fertilizer production
facility may last four to six weeks.
The Riverview facility in Hillsborough County, Florida, was
at the center of two separate brushfires earlier this week.
The facility, which has a run rate of roughly 30,000 tonnes
per week, sustained limited damage to ancillary operations and
was configured to produce products primarily for export to
Brazil at the time of the fire, the firm said.
Mosaic previously said the incident had occurred during
routine maintenance and it was assessing any impacts to the
site's operating schedule while investigating the cause.
