Precision farming tools promote sustainable

agriculture

• Precision farming promotes best agricultural practices

• Yara’s N-sensor, N-tester and water sensor help optimize

application rates and water use

• Yara’s solutions help farmers comply with environmental

legislation while supporting their competitiveness

Agriculture is responsible for about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Yara contributes to lower emissions

through promoting premium fertilizers and sustainable farming

Crop Value Index – a key guide to our approach What is CVI:

Crop revenue

Fertilizer costs

Low value - High volume

Limited price premiums for quality

Nutrient use efficiency is key

+1200 USD/ha = 50% yield increase

CV

I

Global area grown (ha)

High value, Low volume

Double price premium for high quality

2% yield increase= +1200 USD/ha

Optimal cost position for lower value segments

Low level of differentiation

Build positions for crop with both value and scale

Yield, quality and productivity

Take the position in cash crop – but not enough scale

Key parameters: Quality and yield
