Fertilizer Canada Says Product Movement Must Continue

Fertilizer Canada says fertilizer movement must continue, allowing farmers to position product for the beginning of the planting season in late April and early May.

“Our member companies are implementing COVID-19 contingency plans at manufacturing plants, storage terminals and agri-retail outlets across the country to protect employees and the public and to ensure farmers get the fertilizer they need in time for seeding,” said Garth Whyte, President & CEO of Fertilizer Canada.

Fertilizer Canada says the Canadian supply chain is resilient and can manage through these challenges. The organization adds the industry would be concerned about any restrictive measures that may have unintended consequences on rail, port and truck service, imports or operations at agri-retail. It says governments must ensure that the Canadian border remains open to the movement of fertilizer in order for farmers to receive their product and meet their spring seeding requirements.

Ensuring a successful planting season and good yields at harvest will be important to Canada’s economic recovery in 2020.

Fertilizer Canada represents manufacturers, wholesale and retail distributors of nitrogen, phosphate, potash and sulphur fertilizers.
