Nutrients for Life

Nutrients for Life

The four major fertilizer nutrients are produced from naturally occurring substances either in the earth’s atmosphere (nitrogen), at or near the earth’s surface (phosphate, sulphate) or below the earth’s surface (potash). Our industry consolidates, concentrates and ensures the nutrients are provided in a balanced and environmentally responsible form for use in food production and industrial products.

Crop Nutrients

The primary end consumer for our Wholesale products is the agriculture market — in particular, growers of grains, oilseeds and other crops who want to enhance crop yields and quality. Agricultural buyers account for about 85 percent of our Wholesale sales.
