    The International Fertilizer Association (IFA) says that Svein Tore Holsether has been elected as its new chair of the Association. IFA said in its press release that the selection of Holsether, the president and CEO of Yara International, is a continuation of the industry’s commitment to sustainability.

    “I am honoured to be appointed Chair of IFA because the fertilizer industry has a key role in finding sustainable solutions to some of the greatest challenges the world is facing. As an industry, we need to lead the way to decarbonise food and build resilient and fair food systems,” Holsether said.

    Dmitry Konyaev, CEO of Russia’s Ural-Chem, has become the new vice chair of the Association. Both Holsether and Konyaev serve on the executive board of directors, which also welcomed two new appointments: Jeanne Johns, managing director and CEO of Incitec Pivot Ltd, and Tony Will, president and CEO of CF Industries. Mostafa Terrab, group chairman and CEO of OCP, Morocco, remains on the executive board of directors as Immediate Past Chair, along with Zhai Jidong, vice president international for Kingenta, and Alzbeta Klein, director general of IFA.
