Contrecoeur

Yara Contrecoeur Terminal

In 1996, Yara (Norsk Hydro at the time) purchased Nutrite, a company in Eastern Canada. Nutrite operated several bulk blending plants as well as a year-round import terminal in Contrecoeur, Quebec. Today, the terminal in Contrecoeur is the premier import terminal in eastern Canada and has storage capacity of 160,000 metric tonnes of dry fertilizer. It is ideally situated on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River (about 1 hour east of Montreal) and is accessible to customers in the main agricultural regions in eastern Canada and northeastern U.S.
