Online PR News – 23-June-2011 –Lincoln, UK – URALCHEM, the second largest ammonium nitrate producer in the world and full member of the Agricultural Industries Confederation of the UK, reinforced its commitment to the UK and Irish agriculture and fertiliser businesses by again exhibiting at Cereals, the largest agricultural event in the United Kingdom. The company’s product portfolio for the UK and Irish markets was well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Graham Dunn, URALCHEM’s Agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said: “The exhibition successfully proved that the company’s product range suits both farmers and distributors alike and fits well into UK and Irish agriculture and the demand of the trade here for high-quality products. The visitors were very complimentary about the quality of our fertilisers and the professionalism we displayed in our stand”.
The main groups of fertilisers supplied by URALCHEM to the UK and Irish markets are stabilised ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate best alternative with a bit of “spring” phosphorous, and NPKs. The United Kingdom and Ireland remain key markets for the company’s complex fertilisers.

This is a straight nitrogen fertiliser which contains readily available forms of phosphates in amounts sufficient to effectively support plant root system development in spring time. SAN is an effective product for use in fertilizing all types of crops and soils. It is easy to apply and both excellent for straight application and as a base for blending.
URALCHEM used its participation at the Cereals Event to announce the company’s FIAS (Fertiliser Industry Assurance Scheme) certification. This sends out a strong message reinforcing the company’s commitment to be part of the UK and Irish agricultural market. The fact was welcomed both by the distributors and farmers who received another confirmation of having a stable access to a reliable supplier.
