“Our investment is a clear signal of our intention to build our fertiliser business. We are proud to support British agriculture with reliable, high-quality products and advisory services that farmers can turn to when considering soil health and efficient crop production.”
According to the fertiliser company, the facility’s location at the Port of Avonmouth, which is a high-quality, deep-sea port, enables efficient importation of raw materials as well as effective distribution logistics.
