This #ThrowbackThursday, we're exploring the rich history of Yara Poland, thanks to this stunning sunrise on a Polish farm! 🇵🇱 Yara Poland began its operations in 1991, and over the past 30 years, the company has established an extensive sales network, making its fertilizer products, adorned with the Viking ship logo, readily accessible to Polish farmers and horticulturists. 🌱 Fun fact! In Poland, agriculture predominantly relies on nitrates, which has led to the widespread use and appreciation of YaraBela and YaraMila fertilizers. And thanks to Yara Poland's skilled team of regional agronomic advisors, they've significantly enhanced the company's presence in the local market. 🧑🌾 In Poland, agriculture is transforming as farmers work to respect natural habitats, with regenerative agriculture being a common practice, and we're proud to see the Polish team working in tandem with Polish farmers to grow a nature-positive food future! 🤝
