Argus Fertilizer Asia Conference

An exclusive gathering of C-suite executives to discuss strategic industry trends, leadership challenges and collaborative opportunities. This session is by invitation only and offers a confidential environment for high-level dialogue.

• What policy and industry measures are most effective in accelerating the adoption of organic and biofertilizers while maintaining crop productivity in Asia?
• How can Indonesia’s fertilizer sector leverage green technologies, such as carbon capture in ammonia production and enhanced efficiency fertilizers, to meet climate targets?
• What role can regional co-operation and private-public partnerships play in scaling sustainable fertilizer solutions across Asia’s diverse agricultural systems?

• How are shifting freight markets, container availability, and bunker costs reshaping fertilizer shipping economics across Asia?
• What emerging trade routes and transshipment hubs are gaining prominence as supply patterns shift from the Middle East, China, North Africa, and Russia?
• How can producers, traders, and buyers better manage logistics risk amid port congestion, geopolitical disruptions, and tightening maritime regulations?

• Where is global phosphate supply coming from in 2026, and how are major producers positioning themselves to meet Asia’s growing demand?
• What role will southeast Asia play in the evolving phosphate rock supply chain, especially with Vietnam and Malaysia increasing imports for plantation crops?
• Can phosphate producers balance rising demand from agriculture and battery materials with constrained supply and environmental pressures?

• How is strategic plantation expansion supporting food sovereignty while managing environmental impact?
• What changes are improving the efficiency and sustainability of Indonesia’s fertilizer subsidy system?
• How do agroforestry and social forestry initiatives strengthen rural livelihoods and the green economy?

• How do crop-specific agricultural trends, such as palm oil in Malaysia/Indonesia, coffee in Vietnam and rice in Thailand, shape fertilizer procurement strategies across southeast Asia?
• What are plantation companies forecasting in terms of fertilizer demand for high-value and staple crops, and how might this influence regional supply chains?
• How are procurement teams adapting to evolving crop needs and sustainability pressures, and what innovations in fertilizer use (eg water-soluble, specialty products) are gaining traction?

• How are geopolitical tensions, particularly between Russia, the EU and the US, reshaping global potash trade flows and pricing dynamics in Asia?
• What role is China playing in stabilising or disrupting potash markets, given its internal policies, export controls and strategic investments in overseas resources?
• How are southeast Asian importers adapting to volatility in potash supply and pricing, and what strategies are emerging to ensure long-term fertilizer security?

• How is the palm oil sector in southeast Asia driving demand for potash, and what are the implications for long-term fertilizer supply strategies?
• What role can biochar play in improving soil health and nutrient retention in palm plantations, and how might this influence potash application rates?
• How are plantation companies in Indonesia and Malaysia exploring integrated approaches that combine potash fertilizers with biochar for yield optimisation and carbon benefits?

• What are the short and mid-term price drivers for urea in Asia, and how are energy and freight costs shaping market expectations?
• How are China’s evolving export policies and India’s import strategies reshaping the regional urea trade landscape?
• What are the major supply chain pressures and climate-linked demand shifts impacting southeast Asia’s urea market?

• How are shifting demand, subsidy reforms, and crop patterns reshaping fertilizer use across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka?
• Which emerging products — nano-urea, EEFs, WSFs, organics — are likely to gain traction, and what’s driving their adoption?
• How will trade dynamics, energy costs, and geopolitical risks influence supply security and pricing in 2025–2026?

• How are new water-soluble, bio, organic and enhanced-efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) driving sustainable crop nutrition in Asia?
• What research and technological breakthroughs are emerging from universities and think-tanks, and how can industry bring them to market faster?
• How can collaboration across science, sustainability, and business accelerate the adoption of next-generation fertilizers regionally?

• How is Australia managing its growing reliance on imported fertilizers, and what are the implications for regional supply security?
• What role will low-emissions fertilizer technologies and government policy play in shaping Australia’s nitrogen use efficiency and sustainability targets by 2035?
• How are Australia’s fertilizer trade flows with Asia evolving, and what opportunities exist for exporters and suppliers in the region?

An interactive, fast-paced consultation-style workshop designed to cut through the confusion around CBAM. The session will feature a short presentation on key impacts followed by an open Q&A. Understand what CBAM means for Asia’s fertilizer producers, traders, and exporters, and how to stay competitive in a carbon-priced world.

• How will CBAM reporting and carbon cost exposure reshape Asia’s fertilizer exports from 2026 onward?
• What role can low-carbon ammonia, clean certification, and emissions transparency play in accessing premium global markets?
• What policy, investment and technology shifts are essential for Asia to stay competitive under tightening global carbon rules?
