Canada · Listed company
Nutrien is a listed Canadian company and one of the largest providers of fertilizers and farm inputs. It produces potash, nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers and runs a substantial agricultural retail business, which also sells seeds and crop protection and provides agronomic advice. This combination links mineral resources and manufacturing with decisions taken directly on farms, which gives Nutrien a place both in global fertilizer markets and in the everyday choice of inputs on the farm.
The group operates at two market levels. Its four principal areas are Retail, Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate. Production of the three major nutrients supplies distributors and other customers, while Retail covers a wider set of inputs and services sold to farmers. This structure ties Nutrien both to wholesale fertilizer flows and to growers' day-to-day production decisions, a model the company describes as running from mine to field.
Size of the business
Nutrien reported consolidated sales of USD 26.885 billion in 2025. The company also publishes a separate net sales figure after certain freight and distribution costs, which is a different measure.
Does Nutrien only sell fertilizers?
No. Its retail business also covers seeds, crop protection and agronomic services, with the range depending on the local sales network.
Why does the mine-to-field model matter?
It connects access to raw materials and manufacturing with distribution and direct relationships with farmers, all stages of one supply chain within a single group.
