Growth Trajectory and Initiatives
Historical Growth: Nutrien's historical growth has been driven by acquisitions, organic expansion, and increasing demand for crop nutrients.

Summary
Nutrien is a strong global player in the crop inputs market due to its integrated business model and leading market positions.
