Who We Are

Canada's fertilizer industry plays an essential role in ensuring that world food needs can be met economically and sustainably. Canada supplies approximately 12% of the world's fertilizer materials. We are the world's largest exporters of potash and elemental sulphur. As well, our industry contributes over $7 billion annually to the Canadian economy.
