4/21/2014

Toros Tarım has joined the members of the International Zinc Association (IZA) that was established as a non-profit organization in 1990 in Brussels, Belgium. Being the only global industrial association for zinc producers and users, the basic purposes of IZA include the goals such as representing the world zinc industry, drawing attention to the contribution of zinc to sustainable development, and to support and develop zinc products and markets. Operating at international and national levels, IZA sponsors scientific researches and plays an informative role regarding the contribution of zinc to human health and plant nutrition by various events and activities. The International Zinc Association also supports the International Zinc Nutrition Consultative Group (IZiNCG).

The zinc-added compound fertilizers that are produced by Toros Agri for the first time in Turkey do not only improve yield and quality in plants, but also ensure a healthy life for humans and animals that are nourished with the agricultural products with higher zinc content. Zinc fertilizer practice significantly contributes to eliminating the zinc deficiency that is widely observed among people. As plants can absorb zinc from soil, people consuming those plants can, in turn, benefit from the bioavailability of zinc.
