Shipments of urea within Canada increased by 43 000 tonnes (+2.3%) compared with the third quarter of the 2015/2016 fertilizer year to 1 893 000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2016/2017.

Shipments of potash within Canada rose to 456 000 tonnes in the third quarter of the 2016/2017 fertilizer year, up 19.3% compared with the same quarter a year earlier. This was the highest level of third quarter potash shipments in 10 years due to increased potash demand in all markets.

Following a 10-year low in the second quarter of 2016/2017, shipments of ammonia within Canada continued to remain low at 157 000 tonnes in the third quarter.
