Fertilizer stewardship programme

Yara Malaysia operates a Fertilizer Stewardship programme to ensure that proper care is taken along the whole fertilizer value chain from product development, purchase of raw materials and manufacturing right up to the end delivery and use on the farm. Through this programme Yara Malaysia is fully committed to give proper advice to ensure the health and safety of its stakeholders and customers as well as addressing environmental issues, safe food production and security against theft and misuse.

Yara Malaysia is a member of the FIAM (Fertilizer Industry Association of Malaysia), a Malaysia fertilizer industry initiative launched to assure the security and traceability in the industry supply chain. FIAM covers all fertilizers intended for agriculture, horticulture, forestry, amenity and any commercial use – not home garden - and takes a “risk assessment” approach to achieving the necessary level of assurance.
