Stepping up our crop nutrition product supply to Europe and Asia

With the signing of new agreements, we are significantly increasing supply of our Polysulphate fertilizer products to customers and farmers in Europe and Asia.

Gearing up to match rising demand

Demand for our multi-nutrient, natural polyhalite – which we market as Polysulphate – is rising. News of the proven benefits of this crop nutrition product, documented in our recently updated Compendium of ICL field trials with Polysulphate, is being shared with more and more farmers who are choosing to incorporate Polysulphate in their balanced fertilizer strategies. ICL Boulby mine in the UK, the only mine in the world producing polyhalite, is already increasing output to meet this demand and further production growth is planned.

Supplying new customers

The new and long-term distribution agreements signed recently mean we will supply an additional 1.1 million tonnes of Polysulphate and Polysulphate-based products to ICL’s global customer base. These include:

• 350 thousand tonnes in a 5-year agreement with Transkhimtrade, a fertilizer company in Ukraine
• 500 thousand tonnes in a 12-year agreement with Polcalc Sp z o.o. in Poland
• 100 thousand tonnes in an agreement with regional distributors in China
• An agreement to supply Polysulphate for fertilizer production by Fertiberia S.A. in Spain.

We are of course delighted at this business growth and to be able to supply even more of the world’s farmers with efficient and cost-effective prolonged supply of key plant nutrients from Polysulphate fertilizers that are natural, approved for use in organic systems and have a low carbon footprint.
