Nutrien has announced that it has sold its 50 percent stake in Argentina-based nitrogen producer Profertil to Adecoagro and Asociacion de Cooperativas Argentinas Coop in a joint acquisition.
The transaction brings in approximately US$600 million in pre-tax proceeds.
“Closing the sale of our equity stake in Profertil demonstrates continued progress towards simplifying our portfolio, enhancing earnings quality, and improving cash conversion,” said Ken Seitz, Nutrien’s President and CEO.
“We intend to allocate the proceeds towards capital allocation priorities that support our ability to grow free cash flow per share over the long term, including targeted growth investments, share repurchases and debt reduction.”
The sale marks another step in Nutrien’s asset divestment strategy. Since Q4 2024, the company has generated around US$900 million in gross proceeds from selling non-core assets.
Nutrien, a leading global provider of crop inputs and services, emphasizes long-term value creation through strategic investments across the agricultural value chain.
