The world as we know would not exist without the use of modern-day
fertilizer in crop yielding. Farmers can keep up with the necessities of
feeding a thriving population only due to the use of fertilizers, as
more than half of all food consumed today is only able to be grown
because of it. Fertilizers consist of macronutrients like phosphorus,
nitrogen, and potassium that make up for all the necessary plant growth.
Hence, the GCC Fertilizer Market is rising robustly and is likely to
attain around 8.9% CAGR in the forecast period.
It substantially
owes to the mounting demand for food grains and recognition of
fertilizers among farming communities to increase overall productivity.
The fertilizer industry is full of companies with an entire supply
chain, right from production & manufacturing to distribution and
retail, all working collectively to deliver the fertilizers to farmers
in a safe & sustainable manner.
The leading players in the GCC Fertilizer Market
are Qatar Fertilizer Company, Saudi Arabian Fertilizer Company, Gulf
Petrochemical Industries Company, Fertil and Emirates BioFertilizer
Factory, Emirates Bio Fertilizer Factory, Abu Dhabi Fertilizer
Industries Co. WLL, RNZ International FZCO, SABIC, RNZ International
FZCO, Ma'aden Wa'ad Al-Shamal Phosphate.
While the fertilizer
sector has gained a robust pace in the agriculture industry, the sudden
outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic brought several challenges to it.
Although the pandemic affected all kinds of industries, the GCC
Fertilizers Market was the most affected. Governments across the
countries took measures to fight Covid-19 and imposed several
restrictions, including a complete lockdown.
Amongst the consumption figures of fertilizers in the GCC, the highest place goes to Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) in Bahrain. It produced a total of 1.6m tons of urea, ammonia, and methanol of about 1.4% fertilizers in the previous year and crossed its annual target mark. Bahrain also attains the highest record of the daily production of urea at the rate of 2,055 tons and adds up new records per month for methanol at the rate of 62,300 tons. Hence, it became the fastest user of fertilizers and is propelling their demand throughout the GCC region.
It is all about knowing the exact amounts of nutrients in the fertilizer to make it effective and efficient in the farming processes. Hence, with the growing demand, research & development of fertilizers, the GCC Fertilizer Market shall grow exponentially and yield better results in the GCC region in the years to come.
