CONFERENCE PREVIEW

Argus Fertilizer Europe welcomes you to Madrid!

The Argus Fertilizer Europe Conference returns as an in-person event at the Hotel RIU Plaza España, Madrid, Spain, 17-19 October 2022.

After a period of uncertainty and a pause on live events, Argus Fertilizer Europe is making a welcome return to Madrid this October.

Now in its 34th year, the conference typically attracts 600+ attendees, across 300+ companies from 50+ countries, making it one of Europe’s largest fertilizer trading events, and guarantees access to new customers and suppliers, as well as existing contacts.

The conference programme lets you join the debate on critical issues facing the European fertilizer industry.

In this event preview, we look at what’s new for 2022.

Site visit to Fertiberia’s Puertollano plant

This year’s event features a special opportunity for a select group of attendees to visit Fertiberia’s new green ammonia plant in Puertollano. The visit to Puertollano will take place on 17th October and will last all day, with a special networking dinner planned post-visit.

Latest in Outlook & Reviews

Tariff uncertainties cloud the picture

Nitrogen+Syngas went to press just a few days before Donald Trump’s swearing-in as the next president of the United States. While it is sometimes difficult to sort the truth from the hyperbole in his public pronouncements, nevertheless, if taken at face value, they would seem to indicate that we may be in for a turbulent four years in commodity markets in particular. While he is an avowed military non-interventionist, on the economic policy side he has emerged as a firm believer in the power of tariffs to alter markets in the favour of the US, and has promised 20% tariffs on all goods entering the US, potentially rising to 25% for Canada and Mexico, and 60% for his particular bugbear, China, sparking a scramble for wholesalers to stock up in the last few weeks of the Biden presidency. Trump previously raised tariffs on Chinese goods entering the US to 20% during his first term, and the Biden administration made no attempt to reverse this, and even added some additional ones, for example 20% on Russian and Moroccan phosphate imports.
