Canada supplies ~80% of U.S. potash used by American farmers, while the U.S. supplies ~95% of Canada's phosphate? That interdependence runs through every rail line, every port, and every trade agreement that governs how these resources move efficiently across borders.
The policies we set today will determine how reliably these critical inputs reach markets tomorrow.
Canadian potash doesn't reach farmers by accident.
365 days a year, it is mined and moved by rail for export
95% travels by rail from Saskatchewan mines
Up to 2,000 km — over 3.5 days — to reach tidewater
Then onward to farms around the world
This is how trade is supposed to work — Canadian resources supporting global harvests through a supply chain that strengthens economies and food systems worldwide. Strong transportation infrastructure keeps this essential network moving and helps feed a growing world.
From rail reliability to port efficiency, infrastructure shapes how competitive Canadian exports are on the global stage.
Canada West Foundation’s report underscores why supply chain investments play a critical role in food security and trade resilience.
This analysis supports informed advocacy conversations across Canada.
