A Holistic Approach To Crop Production
It is estimated that by 2030 the world will be populated with nine billion people, putting enormous pressure on natural resources and food security. Given the fact that the available area for food production is decreasing daily, more food needs to be produced per unit of land. This growing demand for agricultural products will mainly affect the markets of developing economies, especially in the most densely populated countries of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, how a country like South Africa will respond to this growing demand will be one of the major determinants of food security locally and in the surrounding areas.
Since 1953, with purposeful planning and actions, Omnia has been positioned to make a positive and significant impact in South Africa’s and agricultural sector. Our advice and assistance to clients are supported by a holistic approach based on our Nutriology® model. Nutriology® is an approach that focuses on the growth of agricultural crops by developing and then applying specialised products, innovative solutions, technology, services, and client relationships that strives to promote sustainability. Nutriology® refers to a total crop management process and is applied throughout a crop’s lifecycle to increase yield, reduce the risk associated with crop production and increase the farmer’s return on investment.
OMNIA Nutriology® is based on twelve core principles that, in our opinion, will ensure the future success of all parties involved in our business, from our suppliers to our shareholders and customers. It is supported by the OMNIA Nutriology® Solutions Development department whose members constantly strive to develop specialised solutions and products with the use of integrated technology, knowledge, and innovative ideas.

GRANULAR FERTILIZER
Each granule in our chemically granulated products contains all the nutrients registered for that product. This means that all these nutrients are distributed uniformly across the entire field.
AMMONIA GAS
Ammonia gas (N-Gas) contains the highest concentration of nitrogen and reacts with water to form ammonium hydroxide. It can be applied as part of a pre-plant or general fertilizer programme.
OMNISAP®
An OmniSap® analysis can detect deficiencies three to six weeks earlier than conventional dry tissue analysis, and even before visual deficiency symptoms appear and yield loss ensues.
LIQUID FERTILIZER
Omnia can rightfully claim to be the father of liquid fertilizer in Africa. A full range of clear liquids and suspensions, similar to the granular fertilizer range, is produced at our strategically placed liquid fertilizer plants.

Our advanced biostimulant products are a significant growth driver of our Agriculture business, and global industry growth projections for biostimulant fertilizers indicate that this trajectory is likely to continue. We plan to substantially increase our share of this growth by unlocking new markets in Southeast Asia, South America and the Middle East, and by expanding our existing markets in the US and Europe.
We will continue to focus on strengthening our business in Africa through our strategic distribution partnerships in key territories.
In South Africa, our growth initiatives include expanding our AgTech offerings and collaborating with the animal feed industry through our Agri Sciences sector in our Chemicals segment. These initiatives will help us access new and exciting markets so that we can ensure our sustainability and resilience throughout the agronomic cycle.
