en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nutrien Ag Solutions' new manufacturing and distribution center in Victoria has been completed, tripling domestic manufacturing capacity as the company works to enhance supply chain reliability for Australian farmers.

Nutrien Ag Solutions' new East Coast Manufacturing and Distribution Centre in Laverton North, Melbourne, has been fully operational after an investment of AUD 30 million, aiming to improve access to plant nutrition and crop protection products while supporting long-term supply chain security.

Nutrien Ag Solutions Managing Director Adrian Capogreco said the investment is designed to provide greater certainty for farmers amid ongoing global and domestic volatility.

Capogreco noted that in recent months, the Australian agricultural sector has been affected by global instability, whether from geopolitical tensions, changing economic conditions, or weather events closer to home.

At Nutrien, the company focuses on what it can control, which includes the ability to increase manufacturing capacity on the East Coast. Providing greater reliability for farmers is the team's top priority, and the company continues to excel in meeting customers' seasonal needs, especially during peak periods.

The facility will handle formulation, blending, product storage, and distribution activities. The site is also expected to reduce reliance on shipping products from Western Australia to East Coast customers.

National Manufacturing Manager Cherine Kerbaj said the added capacity will help improve product availability and delivery times.

Kerbaj stated that farmers can expect greater flexibility and reliability in product supply. Producing additional capacity locally in Melbourne means lower transportation costs and avoids the complexity of increasing supply through other regions.

This facility enables Nutrien to effectively triple domestic manufacturing capacity, positioning Nutrien as a leader in providing reliability across the entire supply chain.

Nutrien said the new facility complements its recently completed West Coast Bulk Fertiliser Facility in Perth, a long-term lease operation worth AUD 70 million.

Both projects reflect Nutrien's ongoing investment in manufacturing and infrastructure to support agricultural production and supply chains across Australia.
