It's not every day that you see your name in the New Yorker! Nice review of Dan Egan's excellent new P book, with quotes by our Director @DrLimnologynewyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
A great article on P. Novaphos can extend our limited global phosphate rock resources without generating gypsum waste. Our high quality phosphoric acid enables liquid fertilizers, which are much better at avoiding run-off (e.g. no-till agriculture). newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
Novaphos is very pleased to have signed a long-term offtake contract for phosphoric acid with MacroSource (formerly Gavilon Fertilizer). novaphos.com/wp-content/upl…
Thanks to Senator Marco Rubio for hosting a business roundtable today focused on issues confronting US manufacturers like Novaphos. A great opportunity to share concerns, experiences and solutions.
From Bloomberg: "Can the World Feed Itself? Historic Fertilizer Crunch Threatens Food Security. A run-up in prices and shortage of man-made nutrients are forcing the agriculture industry to adapt, and the impact could be severe." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

One of our goals at Novaphos is to make it easier and more environmentally sustainable to produce fertilizers and other phosphate-dependent products in the USA.
This will make long-term supplies of phosphates more robust, reliable, economic and sustainable.
Russia and the region have also been an important source of fertilizer exports. Fertilizer prices are now 2-3x higher than a year ago and supplies are very tight. Will limited fertilizer supplies and high prices impede our ability to make more food?
