New Name, Image For Canadian Fertilizer Industry

It's a name change the association says reflects a major shift in the organisation and the industry it represents.

The Canadian Fertilizer Institute is now Fertilizer Canada.

President and CEO Garth Whyte says they made the change to highlite progress the industry has made to protect the environment, enhance the economy and benefit the social fabric of Canadian life.

Fertilizer Canada represents the manufacturers, wholesale and retail distributors of nitrogen, phosphate, potash and sulphur fertilizers.
