95% of potash produced world wide is used as fertilizer. It improves root strength and disease resistance, as well as enhances taste, color and texture of food.

The remaining 5% is used as feed for animals which aids in growth and milk production, and is also used in industrial products such as food products, pharmaceuticals, plastics, glass manufacturing, soaps and water softeners.

The world's largest potash deposits are located in the province of Saskatchewan (sas-catch-you-won), in Canada.
