A History of Innovation
Constant Product and Service Innovation is at the Core of What We Do
AgraCity is Leading the Disruption of the Global Crop Inputs Industry

Collaboration a Core Corporate Value Guiding our Mission
Our rapidly growing portfolio of affordable high-performance products has been built through collaboration with our customers, suppliers, and science and technology partners.
Listening is at the core of how we approach collaboration.
EMPOWERING FARMERS
Our priority is to bring the highest quality products to Canadian farmers at affordable prices. Over the past 15 years, AgraCity and its affiliates have invested over $20 million in the development and registration of over 100 crop protection products. AgraCity now has one of the largest and most complete crop protection portfolios in Canada. We are proud to save farmers millions of dollars every year on their crop input purchases. AgraCity continues to develop new products and expects to bring over 20 new products to market in the next few years.
Proudly Canadian
AgraCity is Canadian owned and operated, with its head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and business reps located across Canada. While most manufacturers return their profits to countries outside of Canada, the money that farmers spend on AgraCity products and services is recycled back into the Canadian economy for investment in new products, services and solutions that benefit Canadian farmers and the agricultural industry in general.
AgraCity imports urea into Montreal from eastern Europe.
Crossing the Seas
We are always ready to take that extra step for our customers. Even if that means sailing the high seas. Literally.
Way back in 2007, AgraCity brought a vessel of ammonium nitrate from Russia to the Port of Churchill. It was significant because it was the first time the Arctic bridge was used to transport goods, and offered farmers savings on their nitrogen cost. It was also significant because so far this feat was achieved by only fertilizer majors, and that too never through the Arctic bridge or into Churchill. Subsequently, AgraCity brought another vessel of ammonium nitrate and a vessel of urea into Churchill in 2008. In 2009, we imported a vessel of urea into Montreal, two vessels of 16-16-16 into Trois-Rivieres and about 5 vessels of UAN into various ports in Eastern Canada saving farmers about $20 million. AgraCity continued to bring vessels through 2010 and 2011.
Our History Tells Our Story
HIGH STANDARDS
Each of AgraCity’s crop protection products must go through the same rigorous registration process as the major brand manufacturers. They must also meet the same high standards of product quality and performance. All AgraCity products must also meet or exceed quality assurance protocols prior to leaving the manufacturing facility and receive further inspection upon arrival in Canada before being packaged and sold.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Canadian farmers face unique production challenges that require unique solutions. We have worked alongside our farmers to develop over 25 unique crop protection solutions that specifically meet the challenges on Canadian farms. We have also developed our first line of crop nutrition products specifically designed for Canada’s environment and soil zones as well as the nutritional requirements of Canadian crops.
LEADING INNOVATION
AgraCity has expanded product development capabilities through our in-house Innovation team. This will greatly increase our ability to test and evaluate new concepts, technologies, and products at our research sites across Western Canada. We have developed over 100 products in the previous years, and have some new best-of-the-line products in the pipeline.
Product Performance Guarantee
We are committed to providing all our products at the best possible prices without compromising on quality and performance by setting and meeting the highest possible standards, and working with the best product manufacturers from around the world.
We stand behind our products with the Agracity Product Performance Guarantee.
