Argentina has been chosen as the site of a branch office of the Potash and Phosphate Institute of Canada.
The new office, situated in Buenos Aires, is intended to improve access to South American markets by Canadian potash miners. It will also provide technical assistance and training to the country’s farmers in the use of potash and phosphate products in growing crops.
The announcement follows a Canadian trade mission to South America. During this mission, Canada’s minister of natural resources, Ralph Goodale, and Argentina’s secretary of mining, Aleito Guadagni, signed an agreement to encourage investment and expand trade in mining equipment and technology.
The two countries also agreed to share more information about geology, technology and the environment. Agencies that are expected to benefit from the agreement include the Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the Argentine Mining and Geological Survey.
