Increased demand for potash

An increasing demand for potash has prompted Nutrien of Saskatchewan to announce that it will be increasing production.

It is the world’s largest potash producer, formerly known as Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan until it bought Agrium, the world’s largest fertilizer retailer and merged the companies under the Nutrien name.


Nutrien has also said it’s in negotiations with BHP (formerly Broken Hill Properties of Australia) to make BHP’s developing mine at Jansen, Sask., a joint venture.
