The company owns strategically placed mixing plants in major provinces across South Africa. Profert was founded in 1999 and specialized in granular and liquid fertilizer. As a subsidiary of Export Trading Group, one of the fastest growing Agricultural conglomerates globally, Kynoch has the opportunity to expand the brand and its footprint, whilst continuing the legacy that the company has created. Kynoch has a rich heritage that dates back more than a 100 years and has grown to become a leading importer, blender and retailer of a range of granular, liquid and specialty fertilizers in Southern Africa. "The Kynoch-team is excited about the future and is looking forward to continued service excellence and making a difference in the agricultural environment through innovation," said Bruce Shuker, Commercial Manager at Kynoch. This transaction will give Kynoch access to new markets and additional production resources, ultimately contributing to their motto of enhancing efficiency through innovation. Gauteng, South Africa:Farmisco (Pty) Ltd, trading as Kynoch Fertilizer, a leading plant nutrient supplier announced today the successful acquisition of Profert Fertilizer, a major role player in the granular and liquid fertilizer industry. Supporting resource recovery from wastewater will need a step-wise approach to address a range of constraints to deliver a high rate of return in direct support of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6, 7 and 12, but also other Goals, including adaptation to climate change and efforts in advancing “netzero” energy processes towards a green economy.Kynoch announces acquisition of Profert Fertilizer These estimates and projections are based on the maximum theoretical amounts of water, nutrients and energy that exist in the reported municipal wastewater produced worldwide annually. At the energy front, the energy embedded in wastewater would be enough to provide electricity to 158 million households. Beyond nutrient recovery and economic gains, there are critical environmental benefits, such as minimizing eutrophication. The full nutrient recovery from wastewater would offset 13.4% of the global demand for these nutrients in agriculture. Among major nutrients, 16.6 Tg (Tg = million metric ton) of nitrogen are embedded in wastewater produced worldwide annually phosphorus stands at 3.0 Tg and potassium at 6.3 Tg. Wastewater production globally is expected to increase by 24% by 2030 and 51% by 2050 over the current level. The study estimates suggest that, currently, 380 billion m3 (m3 = 1,000 L) of wastewater are produced annually across the world which is a volume fivefold the volume of water passing through Niagara Falls annually. Based on the synthesis of wastewater data, this study provides insights into the global and regional “potential” of wastewater as water, nutrient and energy sources while acknowledging the limitations of current resource recovery opportunities and promoting efforts to fast-track highefficiency returns. There is a proactive interest in recovering water, nutrients and energy from waste streams with the increase in municipal wastewater volumes and innovations in resource recovery.
