We are NutriAg

Our group was founded in 1963 in South Africa, by a world-renowned agronomist, Dr. Jonah Fisher. Today, son-in-law, Martin Bloomberg continues to instill the same commitment and passion into the NutriAg team that is dedicated to a collective purpose—to innovate, ensure progress, and ultimately move agriculture forward with leadership, safety and integrity.

“Farming smarter with NutriAg’s plant nutrition solutions opens the door to more opportunities—boosting yield with innovative crop nutritional products, and tried and tested foliar and soil-applied treatments. With precision nutrition, growers can also support sustainability goals by reducing waste, minimizing environmental impact, and improving plant resilience. Whether it’s maximizing return on investment, or ensuring consistent performance,
NutriAg empowers farmers to grow more, and grow smarter.”

— Martin Bloomberg, President and CEO
