Membership to the IFA acknowledges the essential contribution FEECO has made to the industry through fertilizer process development services and granulation equipment and systems.
Members of the IFA work collaboratively to address key issues the industry faces, such as reducing its carbon footprint and ensuring global food security.

Their vision is productive and sustainable agriculture systems that contribute to a world free of hunger and malnutrition.
“The efforts of the IFA align with much of the work we’re already doing with our customers, so membership was a natural fit for us,” commented Shane Le Capitaine, FEECO Process Sales Engineer and fertilizer granulation expert.
