history
In 1998, Agrium expanded into the Argentina market with
a 50 percent ownership in Profertil S.A. with production in
Bahía Blanca, Argentina. In 2005, Agrium acquired the Western
Canadian fertilizer distribution assets from Imperial Oil.
In 2008, Agrium acquired a 70 percent equity position in
Common Market Fertilizers S.A. (CMF), one of Western
Europe's largest fertilizer distribution companies; in April
2010 the remaining 30 percent was also acquired and CMF
became Agrium Europe.
In 2014, Agrium completed the tie-in of the brownfield expansion
of the Vanscoy Potash Operations in Saskatchewan,
Canada, and we will continue to ramp up production to the
full one million incremental tonnes over the next year. The
construction of our 610,000 tonne urea expansion of our
Borger, Texas nitrogen facility is scheduled to be completed
by the end of 2016.
In 2008, Agrium entered into an agreement with MOPCO
of Egypt, whereby MOPCO acquired the previous EAgrium
project, and EAgrium shareholders obtained a 26 percent
equity interest in the combined entity. The combined entity
includes an existing 650,000 tonne urea facility. In late 2009,
MOPCO secured financing for tripling the production of the
existing nitrogen facility.
