The association communicates with a wide variety of stakeholders on fertilizer technology and topics related to agricultural, climate, environmental and economic challenges and is commonly recognised as the dedicated industry source of information on mineral fertilizers.
As an industry association, Fertilizers Europe’s mission is to identify, promote and manage the common interests of its members.

Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: The main EU initiatives followed are generally related to trade or regulatory issues. Within trade our main concerns are free trade agreements and other trade concessions having an impact on the fertilizer market.
Another important aspect are policies related to climate, energy and ammonia. Gas is also very important since a well-functioning gas market is critical to our industry. All these issues have important trade and food security implications.
Regulatory affairs involve energy and climate change issues. For the fertilizer industry which is a heavily exposed sector on the EU's carbon leakage list, the EU's ETS system and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism are key policy areas.
The use of our product is regulated by Agricultural and Environmental policies such as CAP, agri-environmental schemes, nitrate directive, clean air legislation, water and it has links to the circular economy. The Farm to Fork and EU Biodiversity strategies as well as the Soil Health Law are also likely to impact fertilizer sector.
Standards relating to our products regulated by the fertilizing product regulation is another key area.
Best production practices described in the so called BREF must also be followed and acted upon.
Fertilizer security and chemical safety throughout the production chain also falls within the remit of the association.
Communication Activities: We have a number of brochures and reports which explain our industry and the best way to use our products.
Fertilizers Europe published its decarbonisation Roadmap 2050, outlining possible pathways for the European fertilizer industry to decarbonise its assets to become climate neutral by 2050.
Moreover, in 2023, Fertilizers Europe published its Facts and Figures 2023, Forecast of Food, Farming and Fertilizer Use in the European Union 2023-2033, Plant Nutrition and Soil Fertility .
