Work is set to begin next month on Northern Nutrients recently announced fertilizer plant near Saskatoon.
The $25 million facility will manufacture sulphur-enhanced urea fertilizer and will supply 15 to 20 per cent of Western Canada's sulphur fertilizer needs.
Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison says Saskatchewan is a global leader in the production of food and fertilizer, and this investment by Northern Nutrients will further strengthen our competitive advantage in agriculture.
"This facility will be another strong complement to our burgeoning ag industry, creating good local jobs and helping to grow the value of our manufacturing exports in the months and years ahead."
Northern Nutrients expect work on the facility will begin shortly and should be completed in early 2022.
The facility falls in line with Saskatchewan's Growth Plan of increasing crop production to 45 million metric tonnes, increasing the value of exports by 50 per cent, and growing private capital investment in Saskatchewan to $16 billion annually by 2030.
