Exploring the supply, demand and technical dynamics shaping the global phosphate industry
In light of the current pandemic, CRU
Phosphates 2021 will take place as a virtual conference from 23-25 March 2021. The annual conference regularly attracts an audience of 400+ delegates from 40+ countries from across the global phosphates supply chain, and is a must-attend for both senior commercial and technical decision-makers to network with influential stakeholders, and for professional development.
The only "virtual" thing about the conference is the venue: the conference still offers real insight, real networking, real business opportunities. And at a cost of €440 to attend and no travel and accommodation costs - real value.
This year's extensive dual-streamed agenda will give you the
latest market updates and technical innovations. The expanded technical content stream, with a dedicated agenda of technical papers and showcase presentations, is specifically tailored for operators working across mining and plant-based facilities.
The technical agenda offers an ideal opportunity for you to share experience, develop solutions to operational challenges, and learn how new technology, process, materials, and equipment developments can improve efficiency, environmental compliance and productivity.

In addition to the CRU view on the global markets and industry trends, the commercial agenda will have a particular focus on how the industry is responding to changing dynamics of phosphate demand, in terms of new phosphate products and the evolving relationship with consumers.
CRU Phosphates 2021 is the essential annual meeting for commercial and operational professionals in the fertilizer, feed and industrial phosphates industries.
Key themes explored in the 2021 agenda include:
Commercial, market and regulatory stream
Supply, demand and prices: 2019 saw an oversupplied global market coupled with declines in global demand pressuring prices.
CRU’s Phosphate team will share their views the prospects for demand growth and price recovery, and how markets will fare in 2021 and beyond
