About Yara International
Yara's mission is to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet. We pursue a strategy of sustainable value growth through reducing emissions from crop nutrition production and developing low-emission energy solutions. Yara's ambition is focused on growing a nature-positive food future that creates value for our customers, shareholders and society at large and delivers a more sustainable food value chain.
To drive the green shift in fertilizer production, shipping, and other energy intensive industries, Yara will produce ammonia with significantly lower emissions. We provide digital tools for precision farming and work closely with partners at all levels of the food value chain to share knowledge and promote more efficient and sustainable solutions.

With 17,000 employees and operations in more than 60 countries, sustainability is an integral part of our business model. In 2024, Yara reported revenues of USD 13.9 billion.
About Yara India
Yara Fertilisers India Private Limited (Yara India) stands as the leading fertiliser company in India, wholly owned by Yara International ASA. In just over two decades, Yara India has emerged as a key player in India's agricultural sector, particularly in the premium crop nutrients segment, holding more than 36% market share. This journey reflects a steadfast commitment to excellence and innovation in addressing the needs of Indian farmers.
Yara India's inception dates back to 1993 with the establishment of a registered office, followed by product trials for Fertilizers Control Order (FCO) registration in 1997 and subsequent third-party marketing. In 2011, Yara India strengthened its footprint in Maharashtra with its own operations, including an in-house sales team and distribution network. A significant milestone was reached in January 2018 with the acquisition of Tata Chemicals for USD 421 million, marking India's first and largest stand-alone foreign direct investment in the fertiliser sector.
