Innovative Fertilizer Investment
2023
In August 2023, Alarko Agriculture acquired Palmira Agro, a company operating in the micro granule fertilizer sector, to strengthen soil structure negatively affected by climate change factors and ongoing usage habits, and to increase crop yield and quality. The factory established by Palmira Agro in Çankırı Yakınkent Organized Industrial Zone, which will produce micro granule fertilizers, began its operations in July 2024. Micro granule fertilizers allow for the application of the right source, at the right rate, in the right place and time, with the right technology. Thanks to this new technology, micro granule fertilizers can be placed close to the seed due to their small size and structure, enabling the plant to reach the nutrient source more quickly. Thus, compared to traditional fertilizers, both the efficiency of the plant is increased, and the environmental impact is reduced by using fewer chemicals per acre.
