With the world’s population expected to be approaching 10bn by 2050, the great challenge facing humankind is to increase agricultural productivity to meet the food and nutritional demands of the future. But this will have to be grown on scarcely more farmland than is available today.

Applying more fertilizer is only part of the challenge, because the necessary increases in crop yield will have to be achieved sustainably, maximising the efficiency of nutrient and water use and minimising any adverse impact on the environment and climate. Water soluble fertilizers (WSFs) present a perfect solution to these challenges.

Argus’ new strategy report on water soluble fertilizers is an essential guide to anyone wishing to access this highly profitable, fast-growing sector, which many consider to be the inevitable direction of the fertilizer industry.
