Essential businesses have remained open throughout the pandemic and their importance was brought to light during these times. One company that falls in this category, but may not immediately come to mind for most investors, is the world's largest fertilizer producer. Nutrien (NTR) operates in four segments consisting of Retail, Potash, Nitrogen, and Phosphate. As with most commodity businesses, prices for the company's products are generally based on the marginal cost of production. In this regard, the Canadian company benefits from some of the lowest-cost production assets in the industry.
