Diversified chemicals group Omnia is using Nampo Harvest Day 2026 to highlight its response to global fertiliser market uncertainty, with the company having made significant supply chain investments to secure input availability ahead of the summer planting season.

Engineering News spoke to Omnia executive director Stephan Serfontein, who outlined the group’s response to ongoing instability in the Middle East. He said the company had invested heavily in its supply chain to maintain security of supply for farmers, despite the pressures bearing down on input costs globally.

Serfontein also discussed Omnia's proprietary Nutriology® model, which integrates agronomic expertise, technology and data-driven decision-making to optimise nutrient- and water-use efficiency – ensuring farmers receive the correct nutrients at the right time and in the right quantities to improve yields and returns on investment.

With more than 70 years of experience in the fertiliser industry, Omnia continues to invest in research, development and technology aimed at advancing agricultural productivity and long-term food security.
