About the event

Now in its 19th year, the CRU Phosphates+Potash Expoconference is the world’s leading commercial and technical forum for the industry. The event regularly brings together more than 400 senior decision-makers from around the globe, representing the entire phosphates and potash value chain.

The conference offers the ideal forum for business leaders from producer, trader, consumer, engineering, technology, and equipment provider companies. It is where the industry gathers to engage in high-level networking, negotiate business, and share critical knowledge on the market and technology factors shaping the future.

At its core, the event is designed to provide the latest commercial and technical updates to help you make better-informed business decisions. With a programme that balances high-level market analysis with a dedicated stream of technical content, attendees can share practical experience with operators and meet with technical experts, all in one place.

The CRU Conference is an outstanding platform for the global fertilizer industry. Beyond the excellent technical presentations and market intelligence, it provides a unique opportunity to meet senior industry leaders, exchange ideas, and develop strategic partnerships. I left the conference with valuable insights and several promising business opportunities, and I highly recommend it to anyone involved in the fertilizer sector.
