Foskor says fire at acid plant won’t impact output

South African phosphate producer Foskor said on Thursday that a fire on Wednesday at its acid plant in the coastal city of Richards Bay will not impact production and supply, even though conveyors were damaged. The fire, the cause of which is still being investigated, broke out on Wednesday at a rock phosphate transfer tower where phosphate rock and sulphur are conveyed into stores, Foskor said in a statement.
