Nutrien Ltd. was formed in 2018 through the merger of PotashCorp and Agrium, creating a globally integrated agricultural enterprise. The company operates through four primary segments: Nutrien Ag Solutions (Retail), Potash, Nitrogen, and Phosphate. Its downstream Retail segment distributes crop inputs and offers agronomic services through approximately 2,000 locations worldwide. The upstream segments focus on the mining, processing, and manufacturing of essential fertilizers, leveraging a low-cost production base. By combining large-scale upstream fertilizer production with an extensive downstream retail network, Nutrien maintains a dominant competitive position in the global agricultural supply chain.
