“We need the space and we need top talent in this community to help us with our growth platform, because we have big plans to grow Nutrien globally,” Magro told reporters Thursday.

Established on Jan. 1 in the merger between Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. and Agrium Inc., Nutrien owns and operates six of the province’s 10 active potash mines.

During the lead-up to the merger, former Premier Brad Wall raised concerns about the possibility of corporate office jobs slipping away to Calgary, where Agrium was headquartered.
