Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan
Introduction: The Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc., referred to as PotashCorp, is a
Canadian corporation based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The company is the world's largest
potash producer and the third largest producers of nitrogen and phosphate, three primary crop
nutrients used to produce fertilizer. At the end of 2011, the company controlled twenty percent of
the world's potash production capacity, two percent of nitrogen production capacity and five
percent of phosphate supply. The company is part-owner of Canpotex, which manages all potash
exporting from Saskatchewan. It also has a joint-venture with Sinochem named Sinofert.
It is by far the world's largest producer of potash, producing 20% of the world's supply. It is also
the world's largest fertilizer producer, the third largest phosphate producer and the third largest
nitrogen producer. In late 2013, it was 60%-owned by institutional shareholders. In 2007, the
CEO, William Doyle was by far the highest earning CEO in Canada, earning over $320 million

Potash corporation
History
The company was created by the government of Saskatchewan in 1975. In 1989 it became a
publicly traded company as the government of Saskatchewan sold off some of its shares, selling
the remaining shares in 1990.
The Saskatchewan potash industry began in the 1950s and 1960s. The government saw it as a
promising new field and granted large subsidies to the new projects, mainly by American
companies. However, this led to overproduction and when a global potash glut began in the late
1960s the industry almost collapsed. The Liberal government of the province introduced an
emergency plan setting up quotas and a price floor in 1969. This plan was popular among the
companies, which could now charge monopoly prices. The NDP government that was elected in
1971 in Saskatchewan was dissatisfied with this plan as the huge profits went to the companies
rather than the government, and it wasn't sustainable in the long term. In 1974 the government
passed a new potash regulation scheme, that included a reserve tax. This plan was resisted by the
potash producers, and its constitutionality was challenged. Thus in 1975 the provincial
government established the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan as a government crown
corporation.

Potash corporation
In November 1975 the province announced its intention to take part of the potash industry into
public ownership. The government offered to negotiate with the producers, and many of them
agreed to sell to the government. Over the next several years PCS bought mines around
Saskatchewan, and eventually came to control 40% of domestic production. Public ownership
drew the ire of the United States government, which criticised the provincial government for
buying Americans' assets and creating a monopoly. In the 1980s the Commerce Department
accused the corporation of dumping and imposed massive duties on all potash imports to the
United States.
In the early 1980s the company struggled and lost money for several years accumulating an $800
million debt. In 1989 the Conservative government decided to privatize it by selling the company
to private investors. During the 1990s PotashCorp expanded by buying up a number of American
potash companies including Potash Company of America, Florida Favorite Fertilizer, Texasgulf,
and Arcadian Corporation. Today it owns assets across Canada, the United States, and also in
Brazil and the Middle East. By March 2008, due to rising potash prices it had become one of the
most valuable companies in Canada by market capitalization, valued at almost C$63 billion.
In August 2010, PotashCorp became the subject of a hostile takeover bid by Anglo-Australian
mining giant BHP Billiton.[8][9]
On November 3, 2010, The Government of Canada announced
that it was blocking the BHP bid as it did not feel the purchase would yield a "net benefit" for
Canada; BHP withdrew its bid soon thereafter.

Potash (71% of total gross margin) is POT's main product. It is an important crop
nutrient used for fertilizer and is limited in supply. It is mined in just 12 countries
worldwide, and 50% of the world's reserves are in Canada where it has seven mines.
Potash is mostly used in POT's fertilizer products.
Nitrogen (10% of total gross margin) is a naturally occurring gas that is necessary for
cell maturation, plastics, resins, and is a key component of proteins and enzymes it is
used in POT's fertilizers, animal feed, and industrial products.
Phosphate (10% of total gross margin is a key nutrient used in increase crop yields, in
soft drinks, and other food products. Phosphates are mostly used in POT's industrial
products.

Potash corporation
Potash Corp has few competitors since the fertilizer industry has significant barriers to entry and
Economies of scale . Potash Corp estimates that it would cost upwards of $2.5B for a new
company to enter the industry.[9]
A company would need five to seven years of development time
to build mines and factories, build rail and gas lines, and purchase rail cars and storage before it
can even begin making a profit.
Potash Corp has two main competitors, Mosaic Company (MOS) and Agrium (AGU). The
potash market has been in deadlock between Mosaic and Potash corp since 2005. Potash made a
successful play on phosphates from 2005-2007, but started losing out to Agrium and Mosaic in
2008. Potash has enjoyed its largest competitive success in the expansion of its Nitrogen
production, which has directly eroded Agrium's superior market-share. .
Mosaic Company (MOS) is a $19.04 Billion[18]
fertilizer company, the second largest
potash producer, and the largest phosphate producer with 15% and 16% of global market
share, respectively[19]
.
Agrium (AGU) is a $5.82 Billion nitrogen and supplies fertilizer producer. In addition, it
produces potash and phosphate like its competitors and has a 16% global share of the
retail fertilizer market due to the major increase in global demand for its fertilizer and
crop nutrient products. [20] [21]
and had a $206 M year-over-year net income increase[21]
Although Potash Corp and its competitors have similar revenues, POT's ability to set favorable
prices by controlling the limited supply of potash have set it ahead of its competitors in terms of
net income and margins. In addition, it also competes with private, government owned
companies. Government owned companies are not usually profit driven. Government owned
companies can set their prices below market value to help subsidize their farmers costs and
would force the other companies in the industry to lower their prices too, or face losing their
customers.

 Challenges
PCS has relied on HyPOWER Systems Inc. of Regina, Saskatchewan, an Eaton distributor, to
provide hydraulics muscle and hydraulics commonality for its mining machinery. When the need
for an additional miner became evident, PCS asked HyPOWER to redesign hydraulic circuitry
for the machine and to work with Prairie Machine on fit, functionality, and integration
requirements.
Delving into the project, HyPOWER’s Ken Pagan, technical sales representative, and Cal
Ganshorn, mechanical engineering technologist, called on Eaton’s Lyle Meyer, Hydrokraft
product manager, for a two-speed hydraulic motor recommendation.
―We explained to Lyle that the motors would need to increase tram speed over PCS’s current
miners that move at a snail’s pace through the mine,‖ Ganshorn says, ―plus fit into a tight
envelope on the miner.
―In addition, the motors would need to default to maximum displacement, in the event that
hydraulic system pilot pressure was lost.‖

 Criticism
PotashCorp imports phosphate rock from Western Sahara via the government of Morocco.
According to the United Nations, Western Sahara is a territory illegally occupied by
Morocco.PotashCorp, among other companies, has been criticized for helping fund this
occupation by buying Western Saharan resources from Morocco.A coalition of conservation
organizations are challenging a permit issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to
PotashCorp's Aurora, North Carolina, phosphate mining operation, which allows the company to
expand its mining operation. The mining expansion will have a significant impact on high-
quality wetlands and aquatic habitat. The permit presumes that the state will write new rules that
accommodate the company’s ambitions.
A group of community members in Penobsquis, New Brunswick, where PotashCorp has existing
and planned potash mines, has launched an action against the mine for damages relating to lost
wells, subsidence, noise, light and dust pollution as well as anxiety. This action is being handled
through the New Brunswick Mining Commissioner.
In 2011, a planned sulfur melting plant facility in Morehead City, North Carolina was withdrawn
after public opposition.

 Recommendation and Conclusion
This company is nice company. Basically this company needs to improve management policy.
This company management is weak. Every year this company needs to arrange seminar for
farmer how to use their product because basically this company fertilizer company. Their
products quality have to improve. Potash corporation has to follow different strategy in different
times because it is seasonal products.

The company is part-owner of Canpotex, which manages all potash exporting from Saskatchewan. It also has a joint-venture with Sinochem named Sinofert. It is by far the world's largest producer of potash, producing 20% of the world's supply. It is also the world's largest fertilizer producer, the third largest phosphate producer and the third largest nitrogen producer. In late 2013, it was 60%-owned by institutional shareholders. In 2007, the CEO, William Doyle was by far the highest earning CEO in Canada, earning over $320 million

  • 7. 7 Potash corporation History The company was created by the government of Saskatchewan in 1975. In 1989 it became a publicly traded company as the government of Saskatchewan sold off some of its shares, selling the remaining shares in 1990. The Saskatchewan potash industry began in the 1950s and 1960s. The government saw it as a promising new field and granted large subsidies to the new projects, mainly by American companies. However, this led to overproduction and when a global potash glut began in the late 1960s the industry almost collapsed. The Liberal government of the province introduced an emergency plan setting up quotas and a price floor in 1969. This plan was popular among the companies, which could now charge monopoly prices. The NDP government that was elected in 1971 in Saskatchewan was dissatisfied with this plan as the huge profits went to the companies rather than the government, and it wasn't sustainable in the long term. In 1974 the government passed a new potash regulation scheme, that included a reserve tax. This plan was resisted by the potash producers, and its constitutionality was challenged. Thus in 1975 the provincial government established the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan as a government crown corporation.
  • 8. 8 Potash corporation In November 1975 the province announced its intention to take part of the potash industry into public ownership. The government offered to negotiate with the producers, and many of them agreed to sell to the government. Over the next several years PCS bought mines around Saskatchewan, and eventually came to control 40% of domestic production. Public ownership drew the ire of the United States government, which criticised the provincial government for buying Americans' assets and creating a monopoly. In the 1980s the Commerce Department accused the corporation of dumping and imposed massive duties on all potash imports to the United States. In the early 1980s the company struggled and lost money for several years accumulating an $800 million debt. In 1989 the Conservative government decided to privatize it by selling the company to private investors. During the 1990s PotashCorp expanded by buying up a number of American potash companies including Potash Company of America, Florida Favorite Fertilizer, Texasgulf, and Arcadian Corporation. Today it owns assets across Canada, the United States, and also in Brazil and the Middle East. By March 2008, due to rising potash prices it had become one of the most valuable companies in Canada by market capitalization, valued at almost C$63 billion. In August 2010, PotashCorp became the subject of a hostile takeover bid by Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP Billiton.[8][9] On November 3, 2010, The Government of Canada announced that it was blocking the BHP bid as it did not feel the purchase would yield a "net benefit" for Canada; BHP withdrew its bid soon thereafter.

  • 16. 16 Potash corporation Potash Corp has few competitors since the fertilizer industry has significant barriers to entry and Economies of scale . Potash Corp estimates that it would cost upwards of $2.5B for a new company to enter the industry.[9] A company would need five to seven years of development time to build mines and factories, build rail and gas lines, and purchase rail cars and storage before it can even begin making a profit. Potash Corp has two main competitors, Mosaic Company (MOS) and Agrium (AGU). The potash market has been in deadlock between Mosaic and Potash corp since 2005. Potash made a successful play on phosphates from 2005-2007, but started losing out to Agrium and Mosaic in 2008. Potash has enjoyed its largest competitive success in the expansion of its Nitrogen production, which has directly eroded Agrium's superior market-share. . Mosaic Company (MOS) is a $19.04 Billion[18] fertilizer company, the second largest potash producer, and the largest phosphate producer with 15% and 16% of global market share, respectively[19] . Agrium (AGU) is a $5.82 Billion nitrogen and supplies fertilizer producer. In addition, it produces potash and phosphate like its competitors and has a 16% global share of the retail fertilizer market due to the major increase in global demand for its fertilizer and crop nutrient products. [20] [21] and had a $206 M year-over-year net income increase[21] Although Potash Corp and its competitors have similar revenues, POT's ability to set favorable prices by controlling the limited supply of potash have set it ahead of its competitors in terms of net income and margins. In addition, it also competes with private, government owned companies. Government owned companies are not usually profit driven. Government owned companies can set their prices below market value to help subsidize their farmers costs and would force the other companies in the industry to lower their prices too, or face losing their customers.
  • 17. 17 Potash corporation  Challenges PCS has relied on HyPOWER Systems Inc. of Regina, Saskatchewan, an Eaton distributor, to provide hydraulics muscle and hydraulics commonality for its mining machinery. When the need for an additional miner became evident, PCS asked HyPOWER to redesign hydraulic circuitry for the machine and to work with Prairie Machine on fit, functionality, and integration requirements. Delving into the project, HyPOWER’s Ken Pagan, technical sales representative, and Cal Ganshorn, mechanical engineering technologist, called on Eaton’s Lyle Meyer, Hydrokraft product manager, for a two-speed hydraulic motor recommendation. ―We explained to Lyle that the motors would need to increase tram speed over PCS’s current miners that move at a snail’s pace through the mine,‖ Ganshorn says, ―plus fit into a tight envelope on the miner. ―In addition, the motors would need to default to maximum displacement, in the event that hydraulic system pilot pressure was lost.‖

According to the United Nations, Western Sahara is a territory illegally occupied by Morocco.PotashCorp, among other companies, has been criticized for helping fund this occupation by buying Western Saharan resources from Morocco.A coalition of conservation organizations are challenging a permit issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to PotashCorp's Aurora, North Carolina, phosphate mining operation, which allows the company to expand its mining operation. The mining expansion will have a significant impact on high- quality wetlands and aquatic habitat. The permit presumes that the state will write new rules that accommodate the company’s ambitions. A group of community members in Penobsquis, New Brunswick, where PotashCorp has existing and planned potash mines, has launched an action against the mine for damages relating to lost wells, subsidence, noise, light and dust pollution as well as anxiety. This action is being handled through the New Brunswick Mining Commissioner. In 2011, a planned sulfur melting plant facility in Morehead City, North Carolina was withdrawn after public opposition.
