Gat Fertilizers

What Gat Fertilizers does

Gat Fertilizers is an Israeli-based, privately-held manufacturer of tailor-made NPK liquid fertilizers, founded in May 1985. The company produces water-soluble NPK formulations, foliar products, EDTA-chelated micro-elements (iron, manganese, zinc, copper), nitrification inhibitors under its Blue Series (e.g., Nir Blue, Urean Blue, Tov Blue), and bio-stimulants including humic/fulvic acid and seaweed-extract products. Manufacturing is conducted at two owned facilities in Kiryat Gat (south) and Alon Tavor (north), supported by an internal R&D function developing proprietary chelation and nitrogen-stabilization technologies.

The company operates a sales-led B2B model, with revenue generated primarily from the sale of liquid fertilizer formulations, complemented by agronomic consulting, laboratory analysis, and irrigation monitoring services delivered through field agronomists. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted on a custom-formulation basis tied to each grower's crop, soil, and irrigation system. Gat Fertilizers exports water-soluble NPK to at least 11 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America (Italy, China, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Ukraine, Uganda, Nigeria, Ecuador, Zambia), in addition to its domestic Israeli base served by a north-south production footprint.

Beyond core product sales, the company monetizes professional agronomic expertise through Gat Academy, a training platform with approximately 20 structured sessions drawing on agronomic knowledge from Israel, Spain, and Peru. The Gat-Tens tensiometer-based irrigation monitoring system, reported to deliver approximately 25% water savings, extends the offering into hardware for irrigation control. With approximately 10 reported employees, Gat Fertilizers operates a lean structure relative to its manufacturing scale and export breadth, consistent with a founder-run, privately-held specialty ag-input business.

• SQM (Sociedad Química y Minera): SQM is a Chilean global specialty chemicals and plant nutrition company producing potassium-based fertilizers, water-soluble NPK, and specialty crop solutions. It competes in the same specialty fertigation market as Gat but operates at far larger scale with vertical integration into potassium resources.
• K+S AG: K+S is a German-based global potash and salt producer with a specialty fertilizer division covering SOP, water-soluble fertilizers, and fertigation products. It overlaps with Gat's specialty potassium products and water-soluble NPK portfolio but operates at far greater scale and across commodity potash.
• ICL Group: ICL Group is an Israeli multinational specialty minerals and fertilizer company producing potash, phosphate, specialty plant nutrition, and water-soluble fertilizers. It overlaps directly with Gat's specialty fertilizer portfolio but operates at vastly greater scale and across the full value chain from mining to finished products.

Direct peers
