Port of Johnstown makes move to strengthen agriculture economy

The Port of Johnstown has struck a deal with V6 Agronomy, which officials say will provide enhanced efficiency and a dependable supply of phosphate fertilizers to Canadian farmers.

The goal of the long-term partnership is to accelerate the flow of next-generation crop nutrition products across Canada and the world, Port officials added in a media release.

“This partnership is a generational opportunity to anchor Canada’s domestic food security, reduce input costs, and bring advanced, farmer-first infrastructure to Canadian agriculture,” said Ryan Brophy, CEO of V6 Agronomy, in a prepared statement.

“Together with the Port, we’re helping to reshape how crop nutrients move in and out of this country while opening up a new export channel for high value western Canadian pulse crops.”

A deal which was many years in the making, this collaboration will see the Port of Johnstown act as V6 Agronomy’s Eastern Canadian import hub for fertilizer inputs and logistics.
