The Copiso blending plant, located in the Almazán logistics center, will produce around 25,000 tons of fertilizer for its members in 2025, a similar amount to last year. Covering 4,500 square meters, the plant has a storage capacity of 10,000 tons and can produce 50 tons per hour.
Fertilization is an issue of growing concern to farmers. It accounts for a significant part of the costs of agricultural activity, and its correct application has a major impact on production results. For this reason, the decision to build the blending facilities, which have been operating at full capacity for two years, was very well received. It was a demand and a necessity for Copiso’s members.
In this way, Copiso can produce customized fertilizers for different areas and regions of the province, adapted to the soil and climate. The main product is called Copitec, which comes in various formulas. The nitrogen is protected with a nitrification inhibitor. In other words, a compound that slows down the conversion of ammoniacal nitrogen to nitrate in the soil. Its main benefit is to increase the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers, as the ammonium remains in the soil for longer and is less exposed to losses through leaching (washing) and nitrous oxide emissions. Sustainability and environmental protection are a priority in the agricultural sector.
