About Nutrien

Nutrien is a leading global provider of crop inputs and services. We operate a world-class network of production, distribution and ag retail facilities that positions us to efficiently serve the needs of farmers. We focus on creating long-term value by prioritizing investments that strengthen the advantages of our business across the ag value chain and by maintaining access to the resources and relationships with stakeholders needed to achieve our goals.

Our purpose

Feeding the Future

Nutrien’s strong and trusted relationship with farmers is at the heart of our business. In spending our days with farmers, we plan with them, walk their fields and explore ways to help them succeed. We have a comprehensive portfolio of crop inputs and services, spanning the ag value chain, and we are working together with our customers to improve on-farm productivity to meet the needs of a growing global population.

We are the largest upstream fertilizer producer globally, with extensive midstream distribution capabilities, that allow us to efficiently move millions of tonnes of products annually. Our downstream retail network provides access and insights right down to the farmer’s field. Through our advantaged position across the ag value chain, we can anticipate trends, respond faster and more effectively produce and distribute the products and services that farmers need.

Together, we are Feeding the Future.
