"somehow they can recommence production in just 9 months time" – Firstly, that time line is roughly in line with what Kalium was saying in their last plans before the creditors pulled the pin and lobbed the grenade.

Secondly, Agrimin are only in a position to know what they've been told and their consultants are going to be either involved in the project (and hence have a stake in the sake going forward) or not involved (and hence won't have direct knowledge of the issues). So there's every possibility that they might not be able to get the plant going at full production any more than Kalium could.
