Durban-based company, VIPA Holdings, is set to become a leader in the fertiliser business into Africa and the Middle East after entering into an alliance with Cargill, the largest grain-rading company in the world. VIPA’S partnership with Cargill will enable it to import bulk fertilisers such as UREA, KCL as well as MAP for distribution into the regions. These three products form the base of the standard Nitrogen, Phosphates and Potassium (NPK) which is widely used in agriculture.
