Agrium Wholesale produces, markets and distributes nitrogen, phosphate, potash and sulphate-based products for agricultural and industrial customers around the world.  We have production and distribution facilities in North America, South America and Egypt, with additional distribution in Europe and through our Purchase for Resale business.

We have a production capacity of approximately 7 million product tonnes of the major crop nutrients: 5 million tonnes of nitrogen, 2 million tonnes of potash, and 1 million tonnes of phosphate. We also produce approximately 0.3 million tonnes of ammonium sulphate. These crop nutrients are produced at 13 major production facilities and a number of smaller regional upgrade facilities. Sales of our manufactured products are complemented by our Purchase for Resale business, which markets approximately 2 million tonnes of additional nutrient products in North America, South America and Europe.

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.

The other 15 percent of our sales support a broad range of industrial uses. For example, urea is used for the production of resins in the lumber industry, potash for the recycling of aluminum, and phosphates are used as a retardant material to prevent the spread of forest fires. The majority of our industrial sales volumes come from nitrogen products — primarily ammonia, urea, ammonium nitrate and aqua ammonia — that are produced at our Western Canadian, North Bend and Borger nitrogen facilities and sold in Canada and the U.S.
