The $300bn investment company is considering a stake in the potash project or to fund part of the project’s construction costs.
The official said that it is not possible to develop such a significant project without government’s support, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The potash project is being jointly developed by China Mining United Fund and Canada’s Allana Potash.
China imports around 80% of its potash.
