Pivot Bio increases production and lowers price of nitrogen fertilizer

“Farmers are under immense pressure, and our role is to stand alongside them as they prepare for spring planting. We have made the decision to lower our prices, versus raise them, out of respect to the growers who need our support now more than ever,” said Chris Abbott, chief executive officer at Pivot Bio. “The global fertilizer market has been increasingly volatile in recent months and is now experiencing an unprecedented supply challenge, just as farmers have entered the planting season. Fertilizer prices have spiked dramatically over the last few days, and the global supply is severely challenged. Our industry-leading nitrogen-fixing products are made in the US and through our domestic supply chain network, we can have nitrogen shipped to growers within 24 hours. As farmers across the country prepare to plant, we are doing our part to make sure that they have a low-cost, readily accessible source of nitrogen they need.”

To ensure domestic farmers have a reliable source of nitrogen available, the company’s manufacturing facility in St Louis, Missouri, US has taken steps to increase its production output to meet the demand.

“We are well positioned to support the American farmers’ nitrogen needs by providing a more stable, cost-effective, domestically produced nitrogen source that drives crop performance in the face of global market challenges,” commented Travis Frey, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at Pivot Bio. “Farmers can think of Pivot Bio as a seamless in-season nitrogen engine that fuels their crop nutrition programs. By adding an early season source of nitrogen directly at the root when the plant needs it most, and implementing best management practices, growers can increase yield and reduce fertilizer costs.”

As fertilizer markets prove to be increasingly volatile, Pivot Bio’s increased production reinforces its commitment to providing farmers with a stable, US-produced nitrogen solution when they need it most.

In 2025, Pivot Bio launched four new products, the most in its 15-year history: PROVEN^® G3 for corn; CERT-N™ for cotton; RETAIN™ for grain sorghum; and a DRY formulation designed for ease of use across crop types.
