The companys product portfolio for the UK and Irish markets was well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Graham Dunn, URALCHEMs Agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said: The exhibition successfully proved that the companys product range suits both farmers and distributors alike and fits well into UK and Irish agriculture and the demand of the trade here for high-quality products. The visitors were very complimentary about the quality of our fertilisers and the professionalism we displayed in our stand.

The main groups of fertilisers supplied by URALCHEM to the UK and Irish markets are stabilised ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate best alternative with a bit of spring phosphorous, and NPKs. The United Kingdom and Ireland remain key markets for the companys complex fertilisers.

SAN is an effective product for use in fertilizing all types of crops and soils. It is easy to apply and both excellent for straight application and as a base for blending.

URALCHEM used its participation at the Cereals Event to announce the companys FIAS (Fertiliser Industry Assurance Scheme) certification.
