Main content
Yara is a leading provider of nitrogen-based mineral fertilizers and industrial products. We boost crop yield, helping food security, and enable biomass growth for renewable energy. Through our environmental solutions and industrial products we help safeguard air and water quality and preserve food quality.
We are the world’s leading chemical company that converts energy, natural minerals and nitrogen from the air into essential products for farmers and industrial customers. The main application is fertilizers, while industrial uses are also an important growth segment. Our global activities range from phosphate mining and ammonia production, through commodity trade and energy arbitrage, to building local market knowledge and developing customer relationships. The backbone of the company’s operations was large-scale ammonia and fertilizer production in Europe, but in recent years new capacity has been added in regions with low-cost gas supplies; the Middle East and North Africa, Trinidad and Australia, today representing about 35 percent of Yara’s production volumes. We ensure reliable supplies of mineral fertilizer and related industrial products to customers worldwide. We benefit from our scale advantages, as the world’s largest producer of ammonia, nitrate and complex fertilizer, and with more than one quarter of global ammonia trade. Our local sales and marketing units provide customer services and agronomical support, working with farmers worldwide to increase yields and improve crop quality and nutritional value. We utilize our strong production platform and global supply system to create local benefits, providing customers with the combination of quality products and expert knowledge that best matches their needs.
