Pivot Bio, an agricultural technology company, has announced a new multiyear nitrogen price and supply assurance program to help farmers lock in nitrogen costs and secure supply for the 2026 planting season and beyond. The program allows growers and retailers to fix a consistent price for Pivot Bio's nitrogen solutions over a three-year period, providing greater certainty as conventional fertilizer prices fluctuate and supply remains uncertain.

Why it matters

The volatility in the global fertilizer market, driven by factors like supply chain disruptions, energy dynamics, and geopolitical pressures, has created significant uncertainty for farmers. Pivot Bio's new program aims to give growers more stability and predictability around a critical input like nitrogen, which plays a crucial role in crop development and yield potential.

The details

Pivot Bio's nitrogen solutions are currently priced around 50% lower than synthetic fertilizers, and the company has recently expanded U.S. production to provide a more readily available and cost-effective option. The new multiyear agreement allows growers and retailers to lock in this discounted price for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 growing seasons, providing greater price visibility and supply reliability. The program also offers flexible payment structures and ensures that an essential input will be available when needed.

  • Pivot Bio announced the new program on March 30, 2026.
  • The multiyear agreement covers the 2026, 2027, and 2028 growing seasons.

What they’re saying

“We've spent time with growers in recent weeks, and one theme has come through clearly, — the need for more certainty. This program is designed to give farmers another way to plan ahead, manage risk, and bring more performance and profit consistency into their operations.”

— Chris Abbott, Chief executive officer at Pivot Bio

“Fertilizer markets have always been cyclical, but the level of volatility we are seeing today is being driven by a more complex mix of global supply, energy dynamics and geopolitical pressures. Programs that provide greater price visibility and supply reliability over multiple seasons can play an important role in helping growers and the broader industry better manage that uncertainty.”

— Melih Keyman, Chief executive officer of KEYTRADE and a member of the Pivot Bio Board of Directors
