Yara offering

Good returns for farmers combined with environmental sustainability are the cornerstones of Yara’s vision and mission.

We offer farmers premium fertilizers and agronomic advice.

What makes the difference?

Quality first

YaraBela and YaraMila nitrate-based fertilizers are produced in our European plants which are amongst the most efficient worldwide. Close control over the entire production process, highly trained employees, the latest technology and a century of experience ensure that we set and meet the highest standards.

Clean production

Yara is committed to produce in plants operating under best practices. All our plants are certified ISO 9001 and 14001. We intend to lead the sector in adopting and communicating common high standards. Our constant pledge for safety is reflected by our low rate of incidents.

Pure Nutrients

YaraBela and YaraMila nitrate-based fertilizers are pure nutrients, offering farmers the reliability, precision and efficiency to meet the requirements of modern agriculture under economic, agronomic and environmental aspects.

Knowledge grows

Volatilization can be made visible. Yara has developed a kit (figure 6) for educational and other demonstration purposes. It can also be used to compare and measure semi-quantitatively ammonia losses from different nitrogen fertilizers.

Figure 6: The Yara volatilization kit indicates volatilization losses by turning the yellow indicator to blue when it gets in contact with ammonia emitted from fertilizer.
