Agri-nutrients are a part of the solution to global food security, Saudi Press Agency reported, citing Samir Al-Abdrabbuh, Executive Vice President of SABIC Agri-Nutrients and Vice-Chair of Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA).

The industry, therefore, must do everything to ensure agri-nutrients are used responsibly and efficiently, he added.

The official highlighted the importance of innovation toward high-efficiency agri-nutrients, such as controlled release and water-soluble fertilizers, digitalization, and advanced farming techniques, as they are helping the industry become more effective and sustainable.

Al-Abdrabbuh’s statement was part of his welcome address to the 11th edition of the two-day (Sept. 15-16) GPCA Agri-Nutrients Conference, held virtually under the theme ‘Forging New Avenues for a Food Secure Future'.
