IFA's main activity is to provide information about the industry
worldwide, especially through conferences and meetings of various
kinds in different regions, and the exchange of non-commercial
information in the form of statistics
and publications.
IFA assembles, analyses and distributes information on the
production, trade and consumption of fertilizers, their
intermediates and raw materials, by means of quarterly and annual
statistics.
IFA reports on the situation of the industry and of world
fertilizer supply and demand; progress in production technology;
advances in the application and use of fertilizers; questions of
general interest, such as environment and safety, best management
practices, etc.
The IFA International Award is
offered every year for research which has led to a significant
advance in the efficiency of mineral fertilizer use, and which has
been communicated successfully to the farmer in the form of
practical recommendations.
