Where we operate

Yara Belle Plaine

On October 1, 2008, Yara International ASA purchased Saskferco, a production facility established in 1992 in Belle Plaine. It is one of North America’s newest nitrogen fertilizer facilities and is, in fact, one of the largest single line granulation facility on the continent. Yara’s Belle Plaine production facility is ideally situated in close proximity to its core markets in western Canada and the northern U.S. Learn more about Yara Belle Plaine.

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.

Yara Carman 

In 2001, Saskferco opened a fertilizer warehouse in Carman, Manitoba, as a central storage and distribution hub for fertilizer products, particularly granular urea, serving customers across Manitoba, North Dakota, and Minnesota. The facility became part of Yara's network following Yara International ASA's acquisition of Saskferco in 2008. Today, the Carman terminal features a 97,000-square-foot warehouse with storage capacity of approximately 80,000 tonnes of fertilizer. While Yara owns the facility, Cargill operates the terminal. Ideally situated with access to both rail and highway transportation networks, the terminal supports efficient distribution of urea and other fertilizer products throughout Western Canada and the northern U.S. Midwest.
