‘Together you go further’
The Haifa Group is a well-known name in the agricultural sector. Product names such as Multi-K (potassium nitrate), Poly-Feed™ and Soluplant™ (NPK fertilizers) MyMultifeed™ (customer specific compositions in big bags), Multicote™ (controlled-release fertilizers) and Haifa Cal™ prime (highly concentrated calcium nitrate) fit in well with the high demands from the soft fruit sector.
The Haifa team thinks and moves along with the grower and works from customer-specific concepts to achieve the grower’s aim: resilient crop, better yield and higher return.
Innovation partner Delphy ISFC
Haifa’s slogan and motto ‘Pioneering the Future’ fits in perfectly with Delphy ISFC. With the partnership, Haifa joins Delphy ISFC and its other innovation partner to fulfil the mission of enabling higher return for the grower. Willem-Jan de Kort and Pieter van Dongen, who work at Haifa North West Europe: ‘By entering into the partnership with Delphy ISFC, we expect, together with the soft fruit sector, that the product range will be even better aligned to meet the challenges of the future: resilient growth, efficient use of fertilizers and water, and others. With the introductions of the biostimulant portfolio (HaifaStim™) and customer-specific micro nutrient mixes (HaifaMicroMix™), great steps have been taken in 2021 towards more sustainable and efficient cultivation. By the end of 2021 we shall introduce our next advance in the field of controlled release nutrition, the Multicote™ Premier range to exceed the ever increasing demands of our customers.’
