Europe produces a diversity of crops and engages in<br />
differing agricultural practices due to variety in climate<br />
and fertilization patterns across the continent. In 2014 (1) ,<br />
Europe consumed 16.2, 4.4 and 4.8 million metric tonnes<br />
of nitrogen, phosphate and potash, respectively. In 2014<br />
crop protection chemicals sales were $13.9 billion and seed<br />
sales were $7.8 billion. In Europe, there are approximately<br />
280 million hectares of arable land. The EU-15 (2) is a growth<br />
market for environmentally friendly crop nutrient and crop<br />
protection products. In contrast, the countries in the<br />
EU-13 (3) and Eastern Europe (4) are less mature in terms of<br />
application rates of nitrogen, phosphate and potash. In<br />
general, these are growth markets for crop inputs, both in<br />
terms of consumption and range of products.<br />
Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, Agrium Europe<br />
employs approximately 80 people and has six sales<br />
offices in six different countries. Agrium Europe purchases,<br />
distributes and sells approximately 1 million metric tonnes<br />
of nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers in Europe.<br />
