Bringing together leaders in blending, retail and banking with the wider fertilizer market to discuss key challenges to the industry and how to overcome them as we enter a new year. Retailers and blenders are key players in Latin America’s fertilizer value chain. What are their views, and how do they see fertilizers fitting into the wider agricultural business context?
- Retailer views: What are the main constraints to and concerns about fertilizer supply and demand to satisfy market needs? How do retailers see their role changing? What are the main challenges, if any, to accessing financing in an inflationary environment?
- Is the vertical integration model one to be followed, or is it flawed? What are the pros and cons? What are bankers’ views on vertical integration in the agricultural sector?
- How are blenders approaching new regulations and market trends? What investments need to be made to make supply more efficient to reach the end market?
- Demand for risk management solutions is growing, as market players seek more efficient ways to mitigate the range of risks affecting the fertilizer market, and therefore the wider agribusiness value chain, as commodity prices ease. This includes options as a means of insurance, exploring trade financing availability for the agricultural sector in Latin America, and how needs are changing.
