ADM has announced the opening of a new fertilizer terminal and blender in St. Paul, MN, to boost availability and access to quality crop nutrition products across the northern U.S. Corn Belt and western Canada.
The new river terminal strengthens ADM's position of being a preferred and reliable supplier of fertilizer.
Easy-to-access location
The new terminal has bulk storage capacity for a variety of macro and micronutrients than can be blended on site to meet unique crop nutrition needs of customers in the region.
Its location, immediately south of the I-94 and Highway 52 intersection, provides easy on-and-off access to the interstate for truck traffic.
In order to keep up with demand for fertilizers from wholesale markets and farmers, the terminal needed an update, according to Scott Nagel, ADM Fertilizer president.
"The St. Paul facility is the newest leg of our strategy to be a world-class supplier of fertilizer," said Nagel.
"It strengthens our global supply chain logistics infrastructure to help ensure we continue to reliably procure and deliver high-quality fertilizer. It is ADM's robust logistics network that enables us to rapidly respond to changing market conditions like what we have been experiencing over the last year."
Dry and liquid fertilizers
The new facility is one of 28 river and interior fertilizer terminals across the U.S. and Canada operated by ADM, which supplies dry and liquid fertilizer to retailers and farmers throughout North America.
ADM Fertilizer offers its customers the unique ability to price and procure fertilizer up to 12 months in advance so they can take advantage of market opportunities.
The ADM Fertilizer team leverages its commodity trading expertise to provide customers market insights to help them make better buying decisions.
