# Western Sahara Resource Watch

> Western Sahara Resource Watch reported that the newly merged Canadian company Nutrien, formed from Agrium and PotashCorp, accounts for about half of phosphate rock shipments from Western Sahara. Between 2013 and 2017, the two firms' vessels carried 4.54 million of the 9.15 million tonnes exported. The group urged investors to blacklist Nutrien.

## Why it matters

Investor exclusion pressure on the largest phosphate and potash buyer could affect capital access for Nutrien, but it has little immediate effect on fertilizer supply or prices.
