Premier Brad Wall says the merger of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and Agrium looks good for Saskatchewan’s interests.
The deal brings together Saskatoon-based PotashCorp’s huge fertilizer mining operations — the world’s largest by capacity — with Calgary-based Agrium’s extensive global direct-to-farmer retail network.
The deal still has to go through regulatory and Competition Bureau approvals, but Wall says a new company would compete well globally.
