Tessenderlo Group is set to acquire Cinis Fertilizer's potassium sulphate (SOP) production plant, having signed an asset transfer agreement.

Tessenderlo Kerley International (TKInt) is a major global supplier of water-soluble sulphate of potash plant nutrition and the leading producer of thiosulphate-based fertilizers. In an exclusive interview, we speak to Nicolas White the company’s Portfolio & Knowledge Director, about recent strategic developments. These include major investments in new production, transshipment and storage capacity, production offtake agreements, and product sales and marketing rights.

Citrus fruit growers are an attractive end-market for fertilizer suppliers due to the high K and N requirement of this widely-cultivated cash crop and the efficacy of fertigation and foliar spraying. We examine the nutrient needs of citrus trees and how balanced application of fertilizers helps maximise citrus fruit quality and yield.

Applications of chloride-containing fertilizers need to be carefully managed for crops such as berries, broad beans, citrus fruits, nuts, potatoes and stone fruits. Selecting chloride-free nutrient sources instead can offer distinct advantages.

While phosphate fertilizer production represents the main slice of demand for elemental sulphur and sulphuric acid, sulphur fertilizers continue to be a growing sector of demand due to changes in the way that we use sulphur.

Tessenderlo Kerley International recently published a tree nut crop brochure. This article draws on the brochure to highlight the importance of two essential nutrients, calcium and sulphur, as part of a balanced fertilization programme for nut crops.

The first global review of phosphate rock resources since 2010 has reported that technically recoverable reserves should last for more than 300 years.

Sulphur is a vital secondary crop nutrient. It can be delivered in sulphate, thiosulphate and elemental form. The range of product and process options are outlined.

Small, soft fruits such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries thrive on fertile, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Their nutrient needs can vary widely according to yield expectations and soil characteristics.

At the organisation’s first face to face meeting since covid, in Vienna in early October, OPEC+ ministers agreed to cut global oil supplies by 2 million bbl/d in November. OPEC+ is a group of 24 oil-producing nations, made up of the 14 members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and 10 other non-OPEC members, including Russia. In a statement, the group said the decision to cut production was made “in light of the uncertainty that surrounds the global economic and oil market outlooks.”
