Why Canada and China

The Canadian side

About 30% of the world's potash is produced in Canada.Source: U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 (2025 estimate)

The Chinese side

China's potash resources are limited; it imports more than 60% of the potash it uses.Source: 2024 data from Baichuan Yingfu, as reported by Shanghai Securities News, December 2025

Our role in the trade

Canadian potash moves by rail to ports on the west coast and in the east, then by sea; the railways and terminals are run by third parties. For commercial confidentiality, we do not name suppliers on this website.
