Norwegian fertilizser maker Yara International has fired Chief Executive Joergen Ole Haslestad, saying he was unsuitable to lead merger talks with Chicago-based CF Industries, which would continue under its finance chief. Yara and CF said last month they were in early-stage talks about a "merger of equals" that would create a $27 billion rival to world number one fertilizer producer Potash Corp. Details of any deal have not been revealed.
