CALGARY, Alberta – Agrium Inc. (TSX and NYSE: AGU) announced today that it intends to divest the West Sacramento product upgrade facility and site in 2015. The site has access to tidewater and imports the raw materials to produce UAN solutions for the California market. Over the past two years, the site has produced on average about 200,000 tonnes of nitrogen solution products. The decision to divest the site was made as part of Agrium’s portfolio review and any impact on financials are expected to be negligible.
