The Saskatchewan Government is reporting that the potash sector in Saskatchewan hit record highs in 2021, with production reaching 14.2 million tonnes K2O, with the sales value hitting $7.6 billion. 

"Saskatchewan continues to lead the world in the production of potash, which emits 50 per cent fewer emissions and is more sustainably produced here than in any jurisdiction in the world," Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. "Over the past 15 years, the Saskatchewan potash sector has committed more than $30 billion of investment in mine expansions and new projects. It directly employs some 6,000 people and contributes to the livelihoods of thousands more."

In August 2021, BHP announced it was completing the Jansen potash mine for a total investment of $12 billion. The Government of Saskatchewan stated it is the single largest economic investment in Saskatchewan’s history. 

One of the objectives of Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan as stated by the Saskatchewan Government is to increase the annual value of potash sales to $9 billion. The provincial government is expecting to achieve that goal well before 2030. 

The Saskatchewan Government states that the Saskatchewan potash sector accounts for around 30 percent of the world's production, which comes from ten mines operated within the province by K+S Potash Canada, The Mosaic Company and Nutrien Ltd.
