Agrium is a global producer and marketer of agricultural nutrients, industrial products and specialty fertilizers, and a major retail supplier of agricultural products and services in both North and South America. The Canadian based agrochemical group operates and reports its business through three major operating segments: Retail; Wholesale; and Agrium Advanced Technologies. 
Agrium’s strategy for 2008 is to grow through incremental expansion of its existing operations and acquisitions as well as the development, commercialisation and marketing of new products and international opportunities. It has been transformed over the past few years to a more stable and diversified earnings profile.
Agrium says it is the only publicly traded fertilizer and agricultural retail company that is involved across the entire agricultural value chain. The acquisition of United Agri Products (UAP) is claimed to create the largest North American retailer of crop inputs and services, increasing the scale and size of its business and significantly expanding its geographic base and its product offerings.
Agrium had sales of around $10bn and 10,975 employees in 2008 with headquarters located in Calgary, Alberta.
ICIS Chemical Business magazine has unveiled the ICIS Top 100 Chemical Companies, with rankings based on 2008 sales.
