Potash is a major export product on the West Coast. Looking at the top 10 projects by value, only one is in a place other than Saskatchewan. That’s the $1.9-billion mine being built by Passport Potash at Holbrook, Arizona.
If there’s any doubt Saskatchewan dominates potash production in North America, a new report notes than nine out of 10 of the continent’s biggest potash projects are in the Canadian province.
The research company Industrial Info Resources says it is tracking 27 active potash projects in North America worth $34.34 billion.
Saskatchewan alone has 17 projects in the works that are worth a total of $30.7 billion.
