Agropolychim Wins Agricultural Innovation Award
Agropolychim has received an Agricultural Innovation Award at the 35th edition of the Agribusinessman of Bulgaria 2026 awards, organized by Bulgarian Farmer newspaper.
The company became the first in Europe to implement an innovative solution for producing next-generation ammonium nitrate, combining three decarbonization solutions: certified low-carbon (“blue”) ammonia, 100% electricity from renewable sources supplied by ENERGO-PRO, and a bio-based, water-soluble coating agent.
The award was presented to Maya Stefanova, Director of Environmental Affairs and Climate Action at Agropolychim, by Prof. Dimitar Grekov, former Minister of Agriculture and lecturer at the Agricultural University of Plovdiv.
“This award is particularly valuable to us, not because it is our first, but because it recognizes an innovation that holds special significance for our company. It is connected to one of Agropolychim’s most iconic products – ammonium nitrate, which has long been an integral part of the company’s history and identity. Transforming one of the most traditional and widely known fertilizer products into an innovative solution that not only goes beyond regulatory requirements but also delivers high performance is a genuine achievement and a source of pride. This award is a meaningful recognition of our efforts. Thank you for your trust,” Stefanova said upon receiving the award.
“Everything in agriculture begins with science and innovation, and these should remain the main focus, as they are the driving force behind the development and progress of agricultural production,” Prof. Grekov said, congratulating Agropolychim on the award.
Agropolychim is a pioneer in Europe in the use of low-carbon, or so-called “blue”, ammonia in mineral fertilizer production.
