Potash, the main product of this division, is a key fertilizer in the global agriculture and food chain. Potash helps to regulate the physiological functions of plants and improves plant resilience, providing crops with protection from drought, disease, parasites and cold weather. Potash does not require additional chemical conversion to be used as a nutrient fertilizer.
ICL leverages its well-positioned and unique Potash assets, as well as its logistical advantages, to be among the three most competitive suppliers in its key target markets, including the EU, Brazil, India, South-East Asia and China.
At ICL UK, the Company has shifted towards exclusive production of Polysulphate, being the first and only supplier of this new and unique fertilizer. It is a unique organic fertilizer containing four key plant nutrients (sulphur, potassium, magnesium and calcium).
Well positioned, unique potash assets combined with significant logistic advantages to service key markets, including the EU, Brazil, India, South-East Asia and China.
The ICL Potash division also includes ICL’s Magnesium business unit. Magnesium is considered to be the lightest structural metal. One of the main characteristics of magnesium is a higher strength‑to‑weight ratio compared with other metals – mainly steel and aluminum.
ICL is a global leader in phosphate solutions for the Industrial, Food and Agriculture end markets.
Phosphate is an essential fertilizer for a plant’s root development and is required for photosynthesis, seed germination and efficient usage of water. ICL has a unique integrated phosphate value chain, from phosphate rock mines in the Negev Desert in Israel and in China to our value‑added downstream production in Israel, Europe, the United States, Brazil and China.
