The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Nutrien has chosen Longview, Wash., for a $1-billion export terminal, disappointing the Carney government, which aimed to attract major investments in mining and resources. The Globe's Kate Helmore writes that the Washington terminal will export potash to fast-growing markets in the Indo-Pacific, including China, India and Japan. Nutrien is the largest global producer of potash. The terminal will have a total capacity of five to six million tonnes and the company expects to finalize the investment decision in 2027 and complete construction by 2031. The major investment plan announced in May is a key test for Prime Minister Mark Carney's government, which aims to streamline regulations and resume major projects, particularly in critical minerals like potash. Nutrien did not, however, consider nationality or politics when deciding on the location, said chief commercial officer Chris Reynolds. The decision came down to economics. He said, "Logistics is a really important component of ensuring that Canadian potash can be competitive on the global stage." He added that global potash demand is expected to grow from 72 million tonnes to 80 million by 2030.
