A HIGHLY SOLUBLE, BEST QUALITY STANDARD SOURCE OF CALCIUM AND NITRATE
In order to ensure good quality yields, it is necessary to supply calcium to the plant, as it is essential in the physiological processes involved in the production of fruit. Without it tissues will die, resulting in disorders such as bitter pit in apples; blossom-end-rot in tomato, paprika and melon; scorching of the edges of lettuce leaves; crack-out percentage in macadamia; internal browning and skin finish in potatoes; and creasing in citrus. Calcium also contributes to the storage life of fresh produce. OmnCal contains calcium, which is essential for quality and storage life of produce.

OUR MARKETS
Omnia Agriculture delivers a premium product that provides high-margin opportunities. It is proving especially valuable in an environment that is increasingly focused on ESG and is rapidly transitioning to biological products.
In South Africa, we manufacture and trade in granular, liquid and speciality fertilizer, humates and other biostimulants, and provide other important value-added services and solutions. This approach has helped us to establish long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships that are critical to our sustainability and success.
We also supply Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and boast a regional hub in Zambia with a state-of-the-art laser AgTech soil technology laboratory – a first in Africa. In addition, we export agricultural biostimulant products and water-soluble nutrients to more than 40 countries in Africa, the EU, Asia, and North and South America, among other regions.

OUR FUTURE
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.
Omnia Agriculture plays a pivotal role in supporting the growth of the agricultural sector. Through this segment, we develop and deliver products that nourish soil and improve crop performance, hence helping to boost food production, sustain livelihoods, and create jobs.
Our Agriculture segment produces and trades in ammonia, speciality ammonia, direct application fertilizers and AgriBio biostimulants. Our competitive edge is our Nutriology® model, which is based on the science of growing, promoting resource efficiency, optimising yields and crop quality to maximise returns, and reducing farming and environmental risks. It is made possible by the largest ISO 17025-accredited soil testing lab in Africa and our remarkable investment in agricultural technology.
