Enhanced-Efficiency Fertilizers

Enhanced-efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) are products that minimize the potential for nutrient losses to the environment. The two categories of EEF products are: (1) slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) and controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs)-with both generally referred to as CRFs, and (2) stabilized fertilizers-principally stabilized nitrogen (N) fertilizers (SNFs).

In 2006, AgIndustries conducted its first multiclient marketing research study on EEFs and the final study report was issued to subscribers in February 2007. Since that time, many changes have occurred in the overall structure of the global EEFs industry, as well as in the supply and markets for both categories of EEF products. Therefore, in October 2010, AgIndustries is launching a second EEFs marketing research study to update the information provided in our previous study report.

In our new Enhanced-Efficiency Fertilizers study, we will address the global supply, demand, and market trends for CRFs and SNFs in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan. The study report will provide:

	A review of manufactured CRF and N stabilizer technologies and products, with emphasis on recent developments
	Identification of new technologies used or under development for the production of processed natural organic fertilizer products
	Lists of the manufacturers or primary marketers of CRF, N stabilizer, and SNF products in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, and of the products supplied by each company
	Profiles of the CRF and/or SNF businesses of approximately 30 leading suppliers worldwide
	Reviews of recent changes in the structure of the North American, Western European, and Japanese CRFs industries
	Assessments and analyses of recent CRF and SNF supply and demand trends in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan
	Discussions of present factors and emerging trends that may affect future demand for CRFs and SNFs in agricultural crop and nonagricultural (consumer lawn and garden, professional lawn care, golf courses, other professional turf, ornamental horticulture, landscapers) markets in each of the three world regions
	Five-year projections for CRF Consumption in each region by end-use market and product type.
