Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday September 21, 2022
MELFORT, Sask. – A company is responding to the ongoing crop protection product shortages by starting production of 2,4-D at its U.S. plant.
ADAMA Canada said by moving 2,4-D production to North America for the first time, the company is helping ensure the product is available this fall for farmers who need it.
ADAMA Canada general manager Cornie Thiessen said supply chain issues continue to plague the global crop protection industry.
“We’re doing what we can within our worldwide network of facilities to ensure continuity of supplies to Canadian farmers,” Thiessen said. “It’s much easier for us to guarantee supply when we can ship within North America by road or rail.”
