Genesis Fertilizers calls for farmer-investors to establish a fertilizer production plant and distribution facilities across Western Canada

SASKATOON (May 12, 2021) – A farmer-owned fertilizer production plant proposed by Genesis Fertilizers Limited Partnership (“Genesis Fertilizers”) is on the horizon and farmers in Canada are being offered an opportunity to participate. Now that construction of Genesis Grain & Fertilizers Operating Limited Partnership’s (“GG&F LP,” and together with Genesis Fertilizers, “Genesis”) SuperCenter at Belle Plaine, Sask. is moving forward, Genesis Fertilizers is focusing its efforts to raise capital in the next phase through the design, development and construction of a fertilizer production plant, in what would be the first greenfield urea plant built in Canada since 1992, coupled with more efficient fertilizer distribution across Canada through strategically located SuperCenters.

Farmers in Western Canada pay more for nitrogen fertilizer than anyone in North America, yet they farm in an area where it costs the least to manufacture. Genesis Fertilizers is offering a made-in-Canada, farmer-owned solution to a problem that until now, farmers have had little ability to resolve. A production facility, in combination with seven planned distribution SuperCenters, is planned to support western Canadian farmers by giving them access to a consistent supply of fertilizer without high freight costs due to import prices.

As nitrogen use continues to grow at an average rate of four percent annually, investing now in this type of fertilizer production facility makes sound economic sense. The need for Canadian-made nitrogen fertilizer endures as average prices for urea remain consistently high over the last five years. The state-of-the-art production facility will be designed to produce 700,000 Mt of urea annually, with 525,000 Mt available for purchase by farmers through an offtake arrangement representing less than 20 per cent of current urea usage in Western Canada.

With interest rates at an historic low and strong commodity prices, Canadian farmers looking to make a long-term investment can control their future fertilizer expenditures with their involvement.

“We are extremely proud to announce today the beginning of the $400,000,000 capital raise of which our goal is to build what can only be called a game-changer in Canadian agriculture,” says Jason Mann, CEO of Genesis. “We have a lot of challenges in front of us, it’s a huge $1.5 billion dollar project; however, the time is right, and we are ready to take on the task, and we start today.”
The new production facility promises a strong boost to the western Canadian economy. Potential locations are being considered in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Construction of the plant is expected to create more than three years of construction-related jobs and upon completion, the facility will provide over 500 direct, indirect, and induced full time jobs.

Western Canadian farmers who are “accredited investors” looking to get involved in the project can contact Genesis by email at Investors@genesisfertilizers.com or call toll-free at 1 (833) 436-3378. For more details on Genesis Fertilizers, visit genesisfertilizers.com.
