FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
Agrium to Divest West Sacramento site
April 23, 2015
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 Agriums portfolio review and any impact on financials are expected to be negligible.

supplier of agricultural products and services in North America, South America and Australia and a leading global Wholesale producer and marketer of all three major agricultural nutrients and the premier supplier of specialty fertilizers in North
America. Agriums strategy is to provide the crop inputs and services needed to feed a growing world. We focus on maximizing shareholder returns by driving continuous improvements to our base businesses, pursuing value-added growth
opportunities across the crop input value chain and returning capital to shareholders.
About Sacramento site
The Sacramento facility has the capacity to produce approximately 200,000 tonnes of nitrogen solution fertilizer and has an import terminal accessible to
tidewater for the importation of raw materials for the production of UAN. The site employs approximately 30 people.
