# Port: Nutrien would add hundreds of millions of $$$ to local economy — but it’s still a few years off

> The Port of Longview outlined costs and projected economic benefits for a proposed Nutrien potash export terminal, estimated to cost $500 million to $1 billion. The port estimates it would spend about $110 million on preparation, while Nutrien says the terminal could handle 5–8 million metric tons of potash annually and could begin contributing to local economic activity from 2032.

## Why it matters

If built, the terminal would add substantial North American potash export capacity, potentially improving access to fertilizer supply and weighing on regional potash prices over time. The project remains years away, so it has no immediate supply effect.
