Nutrien’s Saskatchewan roots run deep, so we’re excited to welcome delegates from across the Pacific NorthWest to showcase our great city and province.

The mission of PNWER is to increase the economic well-being and quality of life for all citizens of the region, while maintaining and enhancing our natural environment – and that connects powerfully with Nutrien’s purpose of growing our world from the ground up. As the world’s largest provider of crop inputs, services and solutions, Nutrien plays a critical role in feeding the future by helping growers increase food production in a sustainable manner.

With more than 20,000 employees and operations and investments in 14 countries, Nutrien’s products and solutions reach every major growing region in the world. From our corporate offices in Calgary, Alberta; Loveland, Colorado and here in Saskatoon, we support operations that produce and distribute over 27 million tonnes of potash, nitrogen and phosphate products worldwide. Combined with our 1,700 agriculture retail locations, which services over 500,000 grower accounts in seven countries, we are well positioned to meet the needs of a growing world and create value for our stakeholders.

Nutrien employs over 4,000 people in Saskatchewan, and we are proud to be the largest private-sector employer in the province. We operate six world-class potash mines and also have 120 Retail farm centers around the province that work directly with growers.

Our Retail footprint in the rest of the Pacific Northwest is considerable, with more than 150 Nutrien Ag Solutions locations spread across Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Nutrien is the largest ag retailer in Canada, the United States and Australia, and we also have Retail operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. Nutrien is the world’s third-largest nitrogen producer, with six nitrogen facilities in central and southern Alberta, one in Kennewick, Washington, five more in other parts of the US and one in Trinidad.

Our phosphate business is concentrated in the United States – we operate large integrated mining and processing facilities in North Carolina and Florida, and regional upgrading plants in Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and Nebraska.

Each day, farmers across the globe are challenged to produce more nutritious food, and to do so in a manner that sustains the planet’s finite resources. The world’s population is expected to approach 10 billion by 2050 and growers will face mounting pressure to produce more and better-quality food on limited arable land, while minimizing impacts on the environment.

Nutrien is working to help meet this challenge in a sustainable manner, through cutting-edge agronomic science and precision agriculture, and in partnership with other players across our industry. We’re moving the agriculture industry and the world forward – today and for generations to come. 

Nutrien is a strong believer in working with government, industry and community organizations across our operating regions and we are proud to support the PNWER Summit. We look forward to connecting with delegates from across the Pacific Northwest this week, to learning from each other and collaborating for the benefit of our Region as a whole.
