Kontango Inaugural Debut at the 2023 TFI World Fertilizer Conference

Kontango recently participated in the World Fertilizer Conference held from October 2-3, 2023, at the DC Marriott Marquis, Washington, DC. The event, organized by The Fertilizer Institute, drew industry professionals from around the globe representing all sectors of the fertilizer industry. The conference agenda spanned across a gamut of issues including the lingering after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, innovation in the industry, the global economy, and public policy.

The opening session featured a keynote by cybersecurity expert John Sileo. Then the focal point shifted during the TFI Board lunch where Senator Bozeman, the keynote speaker, dissected the farm bill and its implications for US agriculture. The discussion also extended to the global impacts of the war in Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine's significance in the global fertilizer, grain supply, and energy markets.

The Kontango team had a very successful inaugural outing at the conference with over 25 stakeholder interactions at all levels of the supply chain. The team showcased our platform and engaged in very productive dialog with global players in the fertilizer industry on current market dynamics and the technological barriers to trade optimization. We greatly look forward to deepening these relationships and our continued steps to serve the industry.
