India Locks In Lifeline: Coromandel Ma’aden Fertilizer Partnership Deepens

Coromandel Ma’aden fertilizer partnership reaches a new milestone as the two long-standing allies strengthen their commitment to Indian agriculture. This strategic move ensures a steady supply of fertilizers, a lifeline for millions of Indian farmers facing global disruptions.

Over the years, Coromandel International and Ma’aden, the Saudi Arabian mining giant, have built a trusted supply relationship—especially in the ammonia and phosphate fertilizer space. The latest agreement takes this collaboration to the next level, offering long-term stability for the Indian fertilizer market.

Supporting Indian Farmers Through Global Disruptions

In recent months, India has seen challenges in DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) availability due to international supply chain issues. This partnership could be the answer.

“This strategic partnership with Ma’aden is a natural extension of our longstanding relationship,” said Narayanan Vellayan, Director of Strategic Sourcing at Coromandel International. “It will help ensure the timely availability of DAP and complex fertilizers to the Indian farming community.”

With over 4.5 million farmers connected directly to Coromandel, this deal could have a massive impact on food security and crop yields across India.

Ma’aden Expands to Meet India’s Growing Demand

Saud Al Tamimi, Director of Fertilizer Sales at Ma’aden, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to India.

“Ma’aden has been the largest supplier of phosphate fertilizers to India for over a decade. We’re expanding our production capacity from 6 million to 9 million tonnes.”

This growth will help Ma’aden meet India’s rising demand for sustainable and high-quality fertilizers, while boosting its position in the global fertilizer market.
