Tessenderlo Kerley México reported that its new La Barca liquid fertilizer storage terminal in Western Mexico is now in full operation, ensuring greater availability for the states of Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Colima.
The company said the terminal features equipment with high-precision calibration and operates under the strictest safety standards. It supplies the liquid fertilizers potassium thiosulfate (KTS), calcium thiosulfate (CaTs), ammonium thiosulfate (Thio-Sul), magnesium thiosulfate (MagThio), and ammonium polysulfide (Nitro-Sul).
The company said more and more Mexican farmers have adopted the use of liquid fertilizers that have proven to be the ideal tool for new precision farming and improving soil that has salinization problems. The La Barca terminal supplies thiosulfates for corn, berries, vegetables, avocados, agave, pineapples, papayas, and other tropical crops.
The company said the increase in installed capacity guarantees an improved service to farmers, as well as enabling more flexible orders and better delivery times. It said it also ensures better planning of supply logistics between the production plants in the U.S. and the storage centers in Mexico. It added that this will prove to be especially valuable in the busiest months, when the respective sales seasons of both countries coincide.
