Disaster should never be the wakeup call the fertilizer industry needs to ensure that crop nutrients are being stored and handled safely. The explosion that rocked Beirut, Lebanon, August 4th, killing more than 100 people, injuring thousands and destroying or damaging property for miles, is a grim reminder of the importance of proactive efforts to safeguard communities and the continued success of our industry.
