The Saskatoon-based company, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, says its sales totalled US$10.8 billion, rising year-over-year from US$10.4 billion.    

The company says its net selling price per tonne for all major nitrogen products was higher in the second quarter and first half of the year as commodity prices rose amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

CEO Ken Seitz says the company delivered record potash sales volumes and improved the cost position of its nitrogen assets in a dynamic global operating environment.
