How does potash get to the North American markets?
Potash for the domestic market can be transported by rail, ship or truck. The majority of our Saskatchewan potash is sent by rail to strategically located warehouses and fan track locations, where it is stored or sent directly to customers by rail. We also ship product by rail to transfer points on the Great Lakes for delivery by vessel and to transfer points on the Mississippi river for delivery by barge. Most of this potash is shipped to PotashCorp warehouses, where our customers pick it up by truck. Customer trucks are also used for shipments to destinations that are close to our mines.
