Compass Minerals Celebrates Global Fertilizer Day

Compass Minerals is proud to support Global Fertilizer Day, celebrated annually on Monday, Oct. 13. Fertilizer plays a vital role in helping those in the agriculture industry meet the growing global demand for nutritious, sustainably grown food.

We recognize the importance of this essential resource and the people who make it possible. According to The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), responsible use of fertilizer accounts for 50% of global food production.

Compass Minerals' Protassium+® premium sulfate of potash (SOP) fertilizer products are designed to help growers achieve greater yields and maintain consistent crop quality. As a dual nutrient source, Protassium+ SOP provides high levels of potassium and sulfate sulfur, aiding in the production of robust, healthy crops. This is one way Compass Minerals fulfills its Core Purpose to help keep people safe, feed the world and enrich lives.

Fertilizers are essential to agriculture and are deeply connected to land and water resources, a connection that necessitates environmental stewardship. Nearly 90% of Protassium+ SOP is produced using a natural solar evaporation process, with the remainder created through innovative ion exchange and glaserite methods. In all processes, the natural elements left after extraction are returned to the lakes for future reuse - a demonstration of our commitment to the responsible transformation of Earth's natural resources.
