"Our production has slowed down, and we are prepared to respond to a market situation that will continue to remain unstable for some time," the company said in a statement released in conjunction with its AGM.

"We are confident that the fundamental performance of the potash industry will remain competitive and believe that the potash fertilizer market will be one of the first markets to recover from the global downturn."

Uralkali also said that during the downturn its priorities are to preserve jobs and reduce costs.
