An expansion project is currently underway to increase storage capacity by more than 30 per cent at the Co-op Fertilizer Terminal in Brandon.

The estimated $5-million dollar expansion project will add 9,000 metric tonnes of storage capacity to the existing structure for a total of 36,500 metric tonnes.

The Brandon location warehouses, blends and distributes crop-nutrition products for Co-op locations and agricultural producers in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan.

The terminal also offers warehouse storage for liquid micro-nutrients and nitrogen stabilizers.
