Argus is launching a new fertilizer sustainability event this summer. The pioneering event will explore ways of improving sustainability and maximising returns on investment in the fertilizer markets of the Americas.

The inaugural event is being held at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, Tampa, Florida, in the first week of June. The conference’s overarching themes include:

• The importance of sustainable fertilizer management and practices
• How to finance and build a sustainable fertilizer economy
• Case studies which highlight key policies and those companies at the vanguard of fertilizer market sustainability.

Why sustainability?

Global fertilizer markets have experienced unprecedented changes in recent times, with supply lines disrupted, global inflationary pressures driving prices upwards, and in 2022 the world’s population soaring to over eight billion – to name just a few. As a result, the pressing concern across the global fertilizer community is how to work together to ensure food security, improve fertilizer self-sufficiency, and how to do so while meeting growing sustainability targets for the sector.

Future-proof your business

Attending the Argus Sustainable Fertilizer Americas Conference is a great way of ensuring your business is future-proof and helping to drive the industry forward. The event will provide attendees with unrivalled networking opportunities and a chance to link up with like-minded colleagues – all of whom are committed to furthering fertilizer industry sustainability.

The line-up of expert industry speakers, alongside insights from pioneering companies, will allow you to benchmark your sustainability strategy and embrace new opportunities in the fertilizer markets of the Americas – at a time when the sustainability, security, and affordability of fertilizer supply have become pressing matters.

Who will be there?

100+ delegates from across the fertilizer value chain are expected to attend the two-day event, including representatives from key producers, trading houses, financing firms, storage and logistics companies, governments, industry associations, AgTech companies and more.

There will be frequent discussion breaks throughout the two days. A cocktail reception on 5th June will also allow you to network and relax with colleagues, old and new, in an informal setting.
