The Irish Farmers Journal understands that Grassland Agro will not sell fertiliser directly to Kerry’s farmers.
It will supply product to the dairy processor, with farmers continuing to purchase fertiliser through the Kerry Agribusiness branch network.
However, Grassland Agro will provide support to Kerry’s suppliers in the area of sustainability and nutrient management.
