Sumitomo, Mitsui to integrating domestic fertilizer operations


Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. basically agreed to launch a detailed examination to integrate the two companies' Japanese fertilizer business.

Under the basic agreement concluded between Sumitomo and Mitsui, the two companies are examining the establishment of a new company ("the newly-merged company") through a joint incorporation-type company split allowing the newly-merged company to take over the fertilizer raw materials export and import business of both companies. At the same time, the two companies are planning to merge Japanese manufacturing and sales subsidiaries Summit Agri-Business Corporation and Mitsui Bussan Agro-Business Co., Ltd., and make it wholly-owned subsidiary of the newly-merged company.

In March 2010, Sumitomo and Mitsui entered into a business alliance in overseas fertilizer raw materials import business (AgroNews 2010-03-30), and the companies have promoted cooperation in areas such as the joint allocation of vessels and the joint logistics. After achieving results through this alliance, discussions continued with a view to expanding the scope of the alliance.

As a result of these discussions, basic agreement was reached that integrating the two companies' Japanese business, strengthening raw materials purchasing and sales in fertilizer raw materials export and import business, and carrying out overall-optimized operations by combining the production and sales systems of the Japanese manufacturing and sales business would contribute to greater competitiveness in Japanese fertilizer business.
