Lincoln,
UK (June 14, 2013) -- URALCHEM
has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln,
UK. The company's new water soluble products were well received by
the participants and visitors of the trade show.
Although
at the moment the demand for soluble fertilizers in the UK is not
particularly large, it is well established, and URALCHEM wants its UK
customers to know that it is now supplying these products. Soluble
fertilizers are primarily used in greenhouse farming; some interest
is also coming from liquid fertilizer producers who want to
manufacture speciality and added-value products.
The
United Kingdom and Ireland remain strategic markets for URALCHEM's
nitrogen based fertilizers. Due to the weather conditions here, the
UK market demand has been volatile, when even normally regular
seasonal purchases shifted by a couple of months. However, the
company's position is to remain a reliable supplier to its customers
and to keep and grow long-established partnership with them.
Graham
Dunn, URALCHEM's Agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said, "We
have seen a lot of interest to our products, including the NS 30:7
that we first introduced to the UK market a year ago. URALCHEM is one
of the first Russian producers to declare that fertilizer should not
be seen as a commodity. The company employs highly qualified
agronomists and chemists to develop the precisely formulated
fertilizers that farmers need. Today we have a large portfolio of
speciality products which we want our customers to get to know and
use."
"It
is important for UK to recognize that it is part of an
inter-connected global market. Today businesses have to compare
markets globally: for example, the UK fertilizer market is 5 million
tonnes and the one in Brazil 30 million tonnes. Manufacturers will
send their products to those who are prepared to pay higher prices.
It is already happening, and traditional products destined for the
European market, such as calcium ammonium nitrate, are being diverted
to Brazil. So, monitoring and responding to global trends will
provide British farmers with a better guarantee that their business
will survive and prosper."
