MOSAIC CO suspended operations at its South Fort Meade fertilizer plant due to a global sulfur shortage, a company spokeswoman confirmed on October 8. The indefinite shutdown impacts a critical production site as domestic supply costs surge. Prices have jumped from a 10-year average of $172 per long ton in the Tampa area to a range of $1,100 to $1,200 per long ton.
