four pillars of FertiGlobal

The FertiGlobal difference – part 4

Over the last three blogs in this mini-series, we’ve been explaining the FertiGlobal Difference – why we, and our innovative range of bioactivating and crop nutrition solutions, are a unique offering for farmers keen to pursue a modern, progressive and sustainable farming approach.

We’ve covered the Commercial aspects – the value of our team, the importance of growth, flexibility and complete assurance; how our approach to Marketing focuses on the significance of Total Crop Management, supported by quality products and the concept of protection; and how our stated commitment to Research & Development is crucial for maintaining innovation and progress.

But then there’s the final, fourth pillar: Understanding. Or it’s perhaps better explained as Context: how we give credibility to the other three pillars.

Tradition

You might know that FertiGlobal is the agricultural business unit of Lardarello Group. We’re one of the oldest players in international chemicals: founded in 1818, borax was one of our first products. We’re always proud of, but never complacent about, what 200 years of history and knowledge contributes to the company’s success.

We were one of the first to recognise the importance of product quality, and the need to prove it through science: a chemical laboratory for quality control has been a feature of the Lardarello site for nearly 130 years.

And while FertiGlobal may be young in comparison to the wider group, we’re here for the long run, to create new traditions and set new trends: in 2023 we’re already celebrating 20 years of trading. And 20 years of valuable experience in providing the world’s farmers with sustainable crop nutrition solutions.

Certifications

FertiGlobal has inherited its parent company’s tough quality standards. Our customers are never in any doubt about our products’ ability to perform as expected. But we don’t believe high-performing crop care products are incompatible with strict environmental commitments. Our entire business is centred on providing all our stakeholders with increasing value in respect of the environment, while continuing to operate under the highest quality standards.

It’s a vision that’s implemented daily, across the whole company, through an integrated Quality, Health, Environment and Safety system.

Awards

Throughout this blog series, we’ve talked a lot about our belief in our vision, our products and our approach to sustainable agriculture. But there’s nothing like having those beliefs confirmed and recognised. So we’re delighted that the dedication and professionalism of the whole FertiGlobal team has seen the company receive an award from the LIFE Programme of the European Union for the development and commercialisation of our EnNuVi® Technology.

We’ve always believed that this innovative biostimulant solution has the potential to help farmers reduce the environmental impact of their crop-growing activities, without compromising their ability to produce quality food, more efficiently. To have EnNuVi recognised in this way is a satisfying endorsement, and we’re thrilled that a FertiGlobal technology has been singled out by the European Union as a key element in the bloc’s Farm to Fork strategy: one of many that we hope will truly help farmers to produce more from less.

That concludes our series on the Four Pillars. We hope it’s given you a better, deeper understanding of the commitment and beliefs that are suffused through every FertiGlobal product.

Kisan Diwas celebration

In India, farmers matter

In India today, farmers – and the entire nation – celebrate Kisan Diwas, Farmers’ Day. We join them!

With agriculture accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country’s GDP, farming is firmly woven into Indian society too. Recognised as the driving force of the economy – albeit challenged by newer industries, such as tech – Kisan Diwas honours the Indian farmers who have done so much to sustain the country’s development.

Since the turn of the 21st century, India’s agricultural output has grown more than 400%, from $101bn to $532bn, according to the World Bank. Today, India is among the top three producers of many globally traded crops, such as wheat, cotton, rice, vegetables and potatoes, while its position as the world’s number one milk producer has become known as the White Revolution (paying homage to the Green Revolution) for its success in linking millions of tiny dairy producers through a nationwide system of co-operatives.

As Claus Brakemeier, our Global Business Development Manager, found out during his recent visit to India, there’s a palpable enthusiasm in Indian agriculture to move things forward and modernise the industry. It’s a move firmly supported by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose predecessor – the fifth Prime Minister of India, Chaudhary Charan Singh – Kisan Diwas sets out to honour.

Singh was himself a farmer before entering politics; he never forgot his humble origins in Uttar Pradesh and while his tenure in the top job was short, his influence was felt in Indian agri-politics over many years, from pre-independence until he stepped down in 1980.

At FertiGlobal, we’re proud to be present in India, thanks to the hardworking efforts of SCL Commercial and its Country Manager Alam Tanveer and his team. As India’s farmers look to the future, keen to adopt innovative new products that improve both productivity and India’s agricultural sustainability, we’re working with Alam to bring research-based technologies to a wider audience.

Please join us today in thanking Indian farmers for their hard work, dedication and commitment – and sending a very special message of ‘Happy Kisan Diwas’ to Alam and his colleagues.
