The meetings will discuss the state of the EU fertiliser market and the partnership's expectations and proposals. The partnership also plans to identify barriers to the availability, price accessibility and use of domestic fertilisers, and to examine agricultural practices that will enable more efficient use of nutrients and fertilisers.
The goals of the initiative include reducing the EU's dependence on fertiliser imports and strengthening its strategic autonomy. Participants will benefit from increasing predictability for producers and users, as well as taking advantage of opportunities to support the competitiveness and resilience of the sector.
According to the Commission, supply disruptions have raised fertiliser prices, increasing pressure on farmers in Europe. In response to this issue, the Fertiliser Action Plan was adopted in May 2026, aiming to improve transparency and cooperation within the value chain. The Commission also provided 540 million euros in financial assistance for affected farmers; member states could increase this support by up to 200% using national resources.
