CCC, Canpotex strengthen agricultural resilience of Bangladesh
OTTAWA, Ontario, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCC is pleased to announce that it signed a new government-to-government (G2G) contract with Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC) for Canadian potash supplied by Canpotex. This is the 11th G2G contract CCC has signed with BADC for potash from Canpotex since 2014. To date, Canpotex has supplied over 4 million metric tons of Canadian potash to Bangladesh.
Canadian potash plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in Bangladesh. Farmers rely on this high-quality nutrient to enhance soil fertility, improve crop yields, and ensure sustainable food production. With its ability to replenish essential potassium in the soil, potash significantly contributes to the cultivation of staple crops like rice and vegetables, which are vital to the country’s food security.
CCC operates at the crossroads of commerce and international relations to successfully enable commercial relationships between Canadian businesses and foreign governments at all levels through G2G contracts. Every G2G contract signed by CCC has the legal effect of being signed in the name of the Government of Canada and comes with an assurance of contract performance.
For the last decade, CCC has been integral in facilitating the reliable supply of high-quality Canadian potash from Canpotex to the Government of Bangladesh. By making potash accessible to Bangladeshi farmers, CCC and Canpotex are supporting the Bangladeshi government to build agricultural resilience - ensuring the livelihoods of countless farming communities.
