Yara North America, Tampa, is celebrating its 75th anniversary as a fertilizer provider in North America.
“Since 1946, Yara North America has been committed to being the crop nutrition company of the future, and we’re extremely proud of all of the significant strides that we’ve made within the industry,” said Magnus Ankarstrand, President of Yara North America. “In 1946 our export of fertilizer to the U.S. helped rebuild a war-torn Norway, as well as creating an offtake market for U.S. crops on the return. Being a core contributor to the food value chain has always been our DNA.
“We’ve continued to invest in research and development for different crop nutrition solutions, sought ideas for creating new digital tools to improve practices, and we look forward to continuing to build and share our knowledge for the betterment of our industry and world,” he added.
Oslo-based Yara was founded in 1905. It now has around 16,000 employees and operations in over 60 countries.
