Agrium Company Description
It's no bull that Agrium is a top producer and marketer of fertilizers in North America. A leader in the production of nitrogen, the company operates plants in Canada, the US, and Argentina that produce mostly nitrogen (though also potash and phosphate) products. The plants have the capacity to produce more than 8 million tons of the nutrients per year. In addition to supplying wholesalers, Agrium operates more than 400 fertilizer retail outlets in the US and South America. The company also owns 50% of Profertil, a joint venture with Spain's Repsol YPF that runs Argentina's largest nitrogen plant. In 2008 it bought agricultural products retailer UAP for $2.5 billion, including assumed debt.
