A liquid fertiliser manufacturer has sealed a deal to ensure the UK maintains a supply for nitrogen fertilisers at a time of global uncertainty in nutrition and food markets.
Brineflow has created the strategic joint venture with German fertiliser giant HELM AG, a Hamburg producer with extensive liquid nitrogen manufacturing capabilities in Trinidad, which can ship large vessels to the UK from an area unconstrained by European gas shortages. Brineflow is currently commissioning Phase Two of one of Europe’s largest deep-water liquid fertiliser terminals at Port of Sunderland and, together with a sister import terminal at Great Yarmouth, can supply farmers covering 90% of British crop producing areas.
The company, which is headquartered in Great Yarmouth, identified Port of Sunderland due to its strategic location on the east coast and its access to key transport links.
