Norofert, leader in regenerative agriculture research and one of the largest input producers in Romania, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, announces the completion of the fertilizer production line in the USA.

Located in Watertown, South Dakota, one of the most important agricultural areas in the USA, the factory has a production capacity of 8,000 liters/day. The activity will focus on the soil health and foliar nutrition range, similar to that in Romania, and there will be used bacteria produced in the laboratory from Filipeștii de Pădure.

Vlad Popescu, President of the Board, Norofert: “We are pleased to announce the completion of the fertilizer production line in the USA and to deliver the first orders for the organic fertilizers produced by Norofert in the USA. We have made an essential step in our growth strategy, with our products meeting the technological standard demanded by the American market. The fertilizers and soil health products are based on microorganisms developed in the laboratory in Romania. The project to enter the American market began in 2020, and since then we have made significant steps, such as homologation and creating a portfolio of products with growth potential in this market, certified field testing, participation in agricultural fairs to present the products, and recently, signing the distribution contract that covers the South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota regions.”

The fertilizer production line is fully automated and the company will have a reduced number of employees in the first year of operation. The investment in the production line, amounting to 250,000 Euro, was carried out through Norofert AG, a subsidiary based in Watertown, South Dakota.
