The Fertilizers platform:

• benefits from easy access to the world’s largest suppliers and producers, in addition to necessary funding sources.
• is poised to succeed because of the high barriers of entry to the market, with the industry becoming increasingly concentrated because of decreasing margins linked to consolidation in phosphate and potash.
• has not only met but also offset the challenges listed above due to its natural vertical integration, enabling it to continue to build its business.
• has recently expanded into Africa, integrating SCPA-SIVEX International, the leading fertilizer, crop protection and chemical products distributor in West and Central Africa, into the group.
