CF Industries Holdings, Inc., through its CF Industries, Inc.
subsidiary, is one of North America’s largest manufacturers and
distributors of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products.
Nitrogen fertilizer is essential to healthy plant growth and
high crop yields, especially for corn, cotton, and wheat.
Phosphate fertilizer helps plants generate necessary sugars,
germinate seeds, and build strong root structures.
The company produces three major nitrogen fertilizers, two major
phosphate fertilizers, and a limited number of custom fertilizer
products.
Primary nitrogen fertilizers produced by CF Industries are:
• Anhydrous Ammonia
• Granular Urea
• Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) Solution
Primary phosphate fertilizers produced by CF Industries are:
• Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)
• Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP)
Custom fertilizer products include Aqua Ammonia, UAN with Sulfur,
DAP - Turf grade, and others.
Man-made fertilizers have had a tremendous impact on farm
productivity and food availability. In 1950, for example, the
average U.S. farmer produced enough food to feed 27 people.
Since then, thanks to advances in fertilizers, seeds, herbicides, pesticides, and farming practices, average yields of all
crops have increased by 55 percent. The average farmer now
produces enough food to feed more than 120 people. This
unprecedented improvement in crop yields has had important
environmental benefits, too, significantly reducing the amount
of land required to feed a growing world population.
