With a total of 14 storage, blending, and distribution units in the southeast, midwest, south, and northeast regions, Fertilizantes Heringer significantly contributes to Brazilian agriculture as the country’s fourth-largest distributor in terms of installed capacity, with more than 4 million tons (MMT) per year.

The expansion of EuroChem’s area of operation increases the efficiency of its logistics, reducing costs for customers and contributing to the company’s growth.”

With the closing of the purchase process, which was officially registered on March 28, 2022, an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting will be held on March 31, 2022, to appoint Fertilizantes Heringer’s Board of Directors and Executive Board.
