PRODUCT USES
Did you know that over half of the ammonia produced in the United States comes from facilities right here in Louisiana? More importantly, the ammonia we produce is used to make fertilizers that help farmers grow enough food to feed the world.

About 80 percent of all ammonia produced is used to make nitrogen fertilizers, which are used to grow food. The vegetables you have for dinner every night are made possible by fertilizers made with ammonia. Because of fertilizer, farmers have healthier crops and higher yields, enabling them to produce enough food to fill the dinner tables of the entire world.

Louisiana's ammonia producers account for about 30 percent of the ammonia produced in the United States.

Ammonia is also important in the production of household cleaners, animal feed, fire retardant products, medicine, pulp and paper products, nylon, plastics and air bags. But ammonia's most frequent and most important use is in fertilizer.

The Louisiana Ammonia Producers...It's what we bring to the table.

"The ammonia industry plays a big part
in the abundance of food we enjoy in America today. Fertilizers made from ammonia help to produce a bountiful harvest of food crops, like the potatoes we use at Zapp's."
