Compass Minerals Marks Global Fertilizer Day

At Compass Minerals, we proudly recognize the significance of Global Fertilizer Day, a day to honor the vital contributions of the agriculture industry in meeting the growing global demand for nutritious, sustainably grown food.

According to The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), 50% of global food production is due to the responsible use of fertilizer.

Compass Minerals' Protassium+® premium sulfate of potash (SOP) fertilizer products are designed to help farmers 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 exemplifies just one way Compass Minerals helps contribute to keeping people safe, feeding the world and enriching lives through the responsible stewardship of Earth's natural resources.

Fertilizers are an indispensable part of agriculture and are closely connected to land and water resources. This connection brings a responsibility to practice 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, demonstrating our dedication to sustainable practices.
