Director General @FertilizersEuro. Working with #fertilizer use & production plus #GreenAmmonia. Likes to understand so reads history. Views are my own.

The @EU_Commission announced how the EU aims to counter US subsidies. Real support for the industry is needed to avoid investment leakage and make the green transition a reality in the EU.

Today the @EU_Commission published the #EUGreenDeal Industrial Plan. The reaction of the EU fertilizer industry https://t.co/vpHoh5HwIC

The @EU_Commission announced how the EU aims to counter US subsidies. Real support for the industry that matches these subsidies is needed to avoid investment leakage and make the green transition a reality in EU.

We welcome the support for the long-term decarbonization process of our industry.

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

My takeaway from EP's vote
Mineral or organic? Mineral & organic fertilizers should be seen as complementary. Only through the use of both, we can ensure #foodsecurity. We welcome that MEPs recognize the need of improving nutrient use efficiency & optimized application

[AGRI Committee Press @EP_Agriculture]

@EP_Agriculture members voted to becomes less dependent on Russian fertilisers and call for better support in transition to organic fertilisers.
🗳️Result: 38 votes in favour to 7 against and 2 abstentions.

Suspension of duties: Given the present crisis in the EU industry and the development of the global #fertilizer market there is no argument in favor of continuing the duty suspensions.

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

I spoke at #Sofie2 about the complementary of mineral & organic #fertilizers and their benefits for farmers & crop growth. Mineral & organic fertilizers are both essential to ensure balanced plant nutrition. A deficiency in one nutrient cannot be compensated by others.

It was a pleasure to participate yesterday in the @EUYoungFarmers Congress and hand in the most resilient project prize to Simon Kainblinger who has implemented aquaponic in his family’s farm bringing many environmental and business benefits.

[European Congress of Young Farmers @EUYoungFarmers]

The Most Resilient Project goes to Austria 🇦🇹!
Congratulations to Simon Kaiblinger 🏆#EUYoungFarmers @EPPGroup @agrinaopara @AsajaNacional @CropLifeEU @FertilizersEuro

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

Tomorrow I will the pleasure to take part in a panel at Congress of @EUYoungFarmers
hosted by @EPPGroup. Young farmers are essential for the EU, they will make sure we have sustainable and affordable food in future.

It is crucial to have a strong EU fertilizers industry, for EU’s strategic autonomy & to deliver on climate & environmental objectives. Our industry has an excellent record in decreasing GHG emissions & is investing in green technologies that will reduce its footprint up to 90%.

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

There is no silver bullet. EU needs all #nutrient sources for optimal plant nutrition. Mineral & organic fertilizers are complementary & provide different benefits for farmers & crop growth. Mineral fertilizers have flexible & precise nutrient content; are easy to transport & use

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

With 50% of food being produced thanks to the use of mineral fertilizers, the EU #fertilizer industry plays a key role in #foodsecurity. Short-term problems should not dismiss the long-term contribution & value-added of having a healthy domestic fertilizer Industry in Europe.

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

The fertilizer industry’s role in the circular economy is well-established. We already recycle millions of tons of materials from other industries or in our production processes.

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

The present #gascrisis led to shutdowns of nitrogen fertilizer plants across EU. The lack of European products is being replaced with imports. Replacing dependence on Russian gas with dependence on Russian urea is not a solution. We need a long-term strategy for the EU industry

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

Today I had the opportunity to participate at the @EUParl_EN @EP_Agriculture public hearing - Reducing impacts of fertilizers from production to end use – Increasing circularity in agriculture. I highlighted the role of mineral fertilizers in #foodsecurity, EU #strategicautonomy

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

I am looking forward to participating in this year's @EUYoungFarmers taking place on 7 December in Brussels and having constructive discussions on #foodsecurity.

[European Congress of Young Farmers @EUYoungFarmers]

"The subject is food security and I don’t think we have something more important to discuss at this point in time." 👨‍🌾 @JacobHansenBxl, Director General

[Fertilizers Europe @FertilizersEuro]

We welcome the recognition of the @EU_Commission that action is required to improve current conditions for EU #fertilizer industry & farmers. Long term - a more comprehensive strategy is needed. It should include measures to support the green transition

[Jacob Hansen @JacobHansenBxl]

I am glad to see the Commission recognizes the important role of our sector in EU's #foodsecurity and #strategicautonomy. Both short-term and targeted
action, as well as measures to support the green transition of our industry, are of critical importance.

[Janusz Wojciechowski @jwojc]

We do not want to substitute one dependency, namely the one on fossil energies, with another one on fertilisers. We do not want off-shoring to be taking place or rely entirely on imports. This sector is too important and too strategic to be left only to market forces❗️

Great to meet last week in Washington our fertilizer industry colleagues from. We discussed the #fertilizercrisis amongst many other topics.

[The Fertilizer Institute @Fertilizer_Inst]

The @Fertilizer_Inst is hosting a 2-day event with our partners from the @FertilizerNews and Fertilizers Europe. TFI CEO @CoreyRosenbusch , IFA CEO Alzbeta Klein, and Fertilizers Europe Director General Jacob Hansen met this morning to gain insight into key industry priorities.
