On our last day of the #FertilizerManagementProgram, our participants learned more about Canpotex’s overseas markets. Thank you to Canpotex’s Matt Albrecht and Talita Arcaro for sharing your marketing insights and expertise. Potash is Canada’s largest export to many key markets. For example, in Brazil, Canpotex’s potash accounts for approximately 70% of Canada’s total exports to Brazil! We are proud to play an important role in the food security of our overseas markets. #Potash #CanpotexFMP2024 #FromMineToTable

About us
Canpotex is one of the world’s largest potash exporters. We market and deliver potash, a valuable fertilizer nutrient, from Nutrien’s and Mosaic’s mines in Saskatchewan to overseas markets, helping the world grow more food. Annually, we transport potash by rail and ocean vessel to approximately 40 overseas countries — with the majority of our potash destined for Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. Canpotex maintains corporate offices in Saskatoon, São Paulo, Singapore, Shanghai and Tokyo, and we are wholly and equally owned by subsidiaries of The Mosaic Company and Nutrien Ltd. Our vision is that we will be a vital link in the pursuit of global food security, inspiring farmers in our export markets to grow and help nourish the world.

Neptune Terminals in Vancouver is the final Canadian stop in Canpotex’s supply chain for delivering potash from mines in Saskatchewan to overseas customers. Neptune is the most important terminal in the Canpotex supply chain and is the largest potash-handling terminal in the world. Approximately 70% of Canpotex potash is loaded onto vessels at Neptune! This is a full circle moment for some participants as the potash they saw loaded onto vessels today will arrive at customers’ ports of call in the weeks to come! 🛳️🌱🚚 . . . #FertilizerManagementProgram #Potash #Fertilizer #TransportationLogistics #CanpotexFMP2024 #HelpingTheWorldGrowMoreFood #FromMineToTable #Ports

Our #CanpotexFMP2024 participants had the chance to visit the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, which is the most important port for Canadian potash exports. Vancouver is strategically located as the closest port to our shareholders’ mines in #Saskatchewan, and also the shortest sailing distance to important markets in Asia. Canpotex is one of the largest users of the port, and nearly 150 jobs at the port are dependent on Canpotex’s exports. Neptune Bulk Terminals is the final Canadian stop in the supply chain from mine to customer. . . . #FertilizerManagementProgram #Potash #Fertilizer #TransportationLogistics #CanpotexFMP2024 #HelpingTheWorldGrowMoreFood #FromMineToTable #Ports

Over the weekend, our #CanpotexFMP2024 participants visited one of our key rail partners, CPKC at their Operations Centre in #Calgary. One hundred percent of Canpotex’s potash is shipped by rail from our shareholders’ mines to ports like Vancouver and Portland. There is no alternative to rail for shipping potash – one week of Canpotex’s train traffic is the equivalent of 10,000 trucks on the road. Canpotex depends on rail partners like CPKC to ensure potash is transported to port safely and reliably, and they are a critical part of our overall supply chain that is making Canada’s contribution to global food security possible. . . . #Potash #Fertilizer #TransportationLogistics #CanpotexFMP2024 #HelpingTheWorldGrowMoreFood #FromMineToTable

As part of the Canpotex #FertilizerManagementProgram, participants had a tremendously informative day visiting one of our shareholders, The Mosaic Company, at their Belle Plaine site. Solution mining is the most effective way of accessing potash reserves below 3,600 feet. Fun fact – Mosaic’s Belle Plaine facility is the largest potash solution mine in the world and pioneered its unique solution mining techniques! While educating participants on different methods of Saskatchewan potash mining practices, it was an exciting opportunity to tour the solution mine and better understand potash grades. Off to Calgary for the next segment of the #CanpotexFMP2024! #Fertilizer #Mosaic #HelpingTheWorldGrowMoreFood #FromMineToTable

All aboard to Lanigan, Saskatchewan for the #CanpotexFMP2024 railcar session! 🚂 We visited the Canpotex Railcar Maintenance Facility to show attendees the importance of rail transportation in our supply chain. At this site, we maintain Canpotex’s fleet of 8,000 Canadian-built railcars that were specifically designed for the weight and density of potash. These railcars allow us to run some of the longest trains in North America. This facility provides Canpotex railcars with all-weather inspection, repair and maintenance, automated railcar wash, wheel repairs and replacement, and on-site railcar storage and switching. The unique maintenance facility plays a vital role in ensuring Canpotex rail shipments are safe and reliable, and Canadian potash reaches our customers in time for their crop seasons. . . . #Potash #Fertilizer #TransportationLogistics #CanpotexFMP2024 #HelpingTheWorldGrowMoreFood #FromMineToTable
