The company has finalised the multi-million-pound upgrade of its liquid fertiliser terminal at Chedburgh, one of several UK terminals it operates. The £7 million phased project at the site in East Anglia is part of the overall Yara investment programme in Great Britain. The company has said the investment is aimed at ensuring safe and efficient operations, delivering high-quality products to its customers. Yara upgrade The completed project included a full rebuild of the Chedburgh terminal which produces nitrogen sulphur and compound NPK-grade liquid fertilisers. The bulk solids raw material store and the production building have been upgraded, with the terminal now fully operational. Yara has stated that central to its project planning was maintaining business continuity, with minimal impact to ongoing operations and customer experience. Terminal manager UK Liquids at Yara, Martin Saunders said: 'In order to minimise disruption, the project began post season 2024 and was completed in time for the 2025 campaign, a remarkable achievement. 'With Safe by Choice in mind, Yara worked closely with the main contractor who delivered the project on time with no reportable incidents demonstrating great teamwork from all stakeholders involved.' With this investment, Yara has said it is advancing operational excellence, securing safe, efficient operations and maintaining high product quality. It is estimated that this development will result in a 30% increase in production, achieved by a 60% increase in raw material storage capacity, improved high efficiency mixers and pipework capacity increases across the terminal. Investing in farming 'Investing in British farming is and always has been a top priority for Yara, and this investment in our Chedburgh terminal reinforces Yara's commitment to servicing our farmers in the east of England and the Midlands,' Saunders continued. The Chedburgh investment aims to contribute to Yara's ambition of achieving carbon neutrality. Reducing the terminal's carbon footprint was at the forefront of the company's decisions, from installing new boilers to adapting processes, resulting in a more environmentally sustainable operation, according to Yara. Crop nutrition farm account manager at Yara, Catherine McNair added: 'Yara's investment ensures the continuity of supply of high-quality, liquid fertiliser products to UK growers. 'The Yara Chedburgh site produces over 300 different liquid fertiliser grades across our NURAM, NUFOL and MULTI product ranges. 'The increased storage capacity has only improved our ability to better service our customer base, and this is supported by our local team of FACTS qualified crop nutrition farm account managers.'
