Canadian Farmers Building the Next Generation of Fertilizer Production
Canadian Farmers Building the Next Generation of Fertilizer Production
Join an alliance of Canadian farmers investing equity to build an ammonia urea fertilizer manufacturing complex and an integrated distribution system.
THE SITUATION
How the Fertilizer Market Works Today
Despite the fact that urea is produced in Western Canada, farmers on the Canadian Prairies pay some of the highest urea fertilizer prices globally1 due to prices set at the NOLA port plus high freight costs.
External Global Factors Control the Current Fertilizer Market for Canadian Farmers
Landlocked location away from shipping lanes.
Rising freight costs and increasing delays.
Fertilizer price volatility impacting profit margins.
Exposure to exchange rates and USD pricing.

LEVERAGING OUR RESOURCS
Western Canada Natural Gas Advantage
Due to abundant, landlocked supply and low demand for natural gas, Western Canada has experienced a consistent price advantage over other global benchmarks. Pricing has remained in the lowest quartile over the last 5 years.1

THE SOLUTION
Local Fertilizer Production Owned by Farmers
A farmer-owned urea production and distribution network serving Western Canada. Farmers invest based on their fertilizer requirements, securing their future supply and receive financial distributions based on plant profits, off-setting the cost of fertilizer.
Ammonia urea fertilizer production complex 1,128,000 MT/annum
75% of the plant’s annual urea production is being sold direct to farmers based on the number of tonnes used in their operation.
25% of the annual production is not locked in and will be sold on the open market.
Network of SuperCenters: Fertilizer Distribution Facilities
Strategically located across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to efficiently source, store, blend, and distribute fertilizer directly to farmers.
TIME TO OWN IT
Take Control of Your Inputs and Your Farming Future
An estimated 20% of Western Canadian farmer-owned acres have the unique opportunity to own part of a fertilizer production and distribution network. This ownership both secures future urea requirements and annual cash distributions from plant revenues. They will be invested to own enough of the plant to cover their individual fertilizer needs and realize the profits on those tonnes through their ownership. Investors may also purchase units without fertilizer offtake.

Building the Future in Our Own Backyard
Southern Saskatchewan offers an abundance of accessible natural resources and is central to a large percentage of Western Canada’s farmland.
“ The Government of Saskatchewan has made it a priority to create a competitive business environment that supports major projects such as the Genesis Fertilizers urea facility. This new facility near Belle Plaine will undoubtedly benefit the people of Saskatchewan, creating more than 100 jobs and support farmers, producers, and related business owners. We look forward to continuing to work with Genesis towards completion of this project.”
