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.
