    Ameropa buys Peru’s Inkafert

    Written by Natalie Noor-Drugan

    Ameropa has completed its acquisition of Inka Agri‑Resources S.A.C. (Inkafert), a bulk fertiliser distributor based in Lima, Peru. The deal extends Ameropa’s bulk fertiliser distribution footprint into Peru and strengthens its access to a key South American agricultural market. Inkafert will join Ameropa’s network but keep its existing team and operating structure, ensuring continuity for customers.

    “Our approach is to build on what already works well,” said Josh Zacharias, CEO at Ameropa. “We are impressed by Inkafert’s team, strong customer relationships and market position, and we see great potential to grow together while staying true to what makes the business successful.” Inkafert, for its part, highlights Ameropa’s global reach and says the alliance gives it access to a broader international network and new logistical, commercial and knowledge capabilities, while preserving its close relationships with Peruvian clients.

    Inkafert positions the tie‑up as a way to support the sustainable development of Peruvian agriculture and to open new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. Ameropa, a family‑run Swiss group founded in 1948 and active in fertilisers, grains and oilseeds, frames the transaction as part of its strategy to be a long‑term, reliable partner in bulk fertilisers and agriculture, linking strong local distributors into its global production, trading and logistics chain.

    Chile’s lawmakers to investigate Codelco

    Members of the lower house in Chile’s Congress have unanimously approved creation of a special investigative commission to examine a series of alleged irregularities at state-owned copper producer Codelco. The issues are: overestimation of production by almost 27,000 t last year; a multimillion-dollar renovation of the company’s headquarters in Santiago; and, maybe, the collapse of a chimney at Potrerillos copper smelter in the Atacama region of northern Chile. The structural failure has forced a production suspension.

    Cartagena refinery enters solid sulphur market

    Cartagena Refinery has entered the solid sulphur market, diversifying its petrochemical portfolio, according to a company statement on 21 May. The first shipment of 260 tonnes has already been dispatched to the domestic market. This new venture is enabled by a recently commissioned pelletising plant that converts liquid sulphur into solid pellets, with a production capacity of 1,000 t/d. The refinery is targeting Colombia’s fertilizer, chemical, and mining industries, and is also planning to export to international markets, including Brazil, Peru, and countries in Africa.

    Petrobras to resume construction at Tres Lagoas

    Petrobras PBR has said that it plans to restart construction of the long-delayed UFN-III fertilizer plant in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, with work at the site expected to resume by September. UFN-III, with a planned capacity of 2,200 t/d of ammonia and 3,600 t/d of urea, was partially completed in the 2010s, but the site has been inactive and unfinished since 2015. Petrobras now intends to complete the project with an estimated investment of $1 billion, targeting commercial operations by 2029. The site was chosen as it was strategically positioned near several of Brazil’s largest agribusiness regions, including Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Paraná and São Paulo.

    Methanex to close Titan methanol plant

    Methanex says that it has been unable to agree to a new natural gas contract for its 860,000 t/a Titan methanol plant in Trinidad and Tobago, and, as a result, will begin the process of indefinitely idling the facility. Titan’s existing natural gas contract expires in the third quarter of 2026. Methanex says that it will undertake a preservation process at the Titan plant to provide options for a future restart should conditions materially improve. The neighbouring 1/7 million t/a Atlas methanol plant, a joint venture in which Methanex holds a 63.1% economic interest, remains indefinitely idled in a preserved state.
