Dutch producer of Specialty Fertilizers & Biostimulants
We have come a long way since 2010 when we started out as part of the Van Iperen Group, a 100-years-old family business in the fertilizer industry. From the very beginning, Van Iperen International aimed to change agriculture for the better. Throughout these years, our size may have changed, but not our way of working – the grower is at the centre of everything we do.
We work together with local partners and operate close to our clients in more than 100 countries on all continents. During the last years, we grew as a producer and worldwide distributor of specialty fertilizers under our own brand. Currently, the vast majority of our products are of mineral origin. We are proud of our background. But in the meantime, we also focus on new developments combining R&D, Innovation, Flexibility, and Sustainability. Our experience is an extra asset in doing so.
Erik van den Bergh Managing Director Van Iperen International“Van Iperen International is determined to make conventional agriculture more sustainable with innovative solutions. We’ve only just begun. Let’s make the green switch!”
Welcome to the Green Switch Journey!
As a milestone of this journey, we’ve recently launched Plants for Plants®, the first fully controlled plant-based biostimulants.

Our Green Switch Journey
Green Switch Journey
With an active role in the agricultural industry, Van Iperen International has committed to a responsible path where innovation and resilience come hand in hand. More sustainable agriculture should not be an indulgence but the first and easy choice for growers. And that’s the origin of our Green Switch Journey.
The Green Switch Journey is our forward-looking roadmap to make conventional agriculture more sustainable. Our journey depicts the development, introduction, and implementation of innovations in agriculture and concrete actions with a sustainable approach. For it, all our projects are based on:
Low Carbon footprint. Improving the efficiency of our supply chain process has a positive benefit in the reduction of emissions from agriculture. Van Iperen introduces innovative production processes powered by renewable electricity with low CO2 impact of their activity.
Circular economy. Van Iperen addresses one of the most important issues across industries: the existence of by-products treated as wastes and discarded immediately to waste disposal. Within this circular economy framework, the re-use of waste products as input for crops brings new opportunities to close the loops in agriculture and other industries. By implementing our technologies, we prevent economic value loss.
Low Carbon footprint and circular-economy production processes are the cornerstones of our strategy. In this way, we can change the rules of the game in plant nutrition providing innovative solutions to growers for making conventional agriculture more sustainable.
Levels of action within our Green Switch Journey
Besides new production processes and solutions, Van Iperen International has developed specific actions to follow within our Green Switch Journey. In concrete, we come up with three action lines to implement:
CO2 Transparency Policy
We do not see purchasing offsets as a solution to our emissions. Our way to reduce CO2 emissions involves a revolutionary change and a different approach. For it, a number of key areas have been selected that will allow us to demonstrate reductions in the carbon emissions generated by our activities.
Social Responsibility Program
Our commitment to society goes beyond agriculture. For this reason, we are part of HortIvoire, a soilless vegetable production training program open to young farmers and women to improve yields and quality and diversify the types of crops in Ivory Coast.
LIMA (‘Less Is More in Agriculture‘)
A pioneering program/initiative to smartuse resources in agriculture. The LIMA approach allows growers to produce more with less, achieve greater crop yield, and minimize the environmental impact through more efficient use of resources.
By taking these steps, we promote an easy transition in agriculture, reducing the impact of the conventional production of mineral fertilizers. Let’s make the green switch!
GreenSwitch® Potassium, driving agriculture innovation
A fossil fuel free production process to transform recovered salts (residue) from the paper industry and electric car batteries into sustainable Potassium Sulphate (SOP) fertilizers. GreenSwitch® Potassium is the outcome of a new cross-sector partnership with Cinis Fertilizer.
But how does it work? Around 200,000 tons per year of sodium sulphate salts -recovered as a residue from other industries- will be upcycled with a close to zero carbon footprint, powered entirely by clean energy. Water, heat, energy, and other materials that, would be otherwise wasted, are also recovered and recirculated to make a clean, high-tech, and green mineral fertilizer.
How GreenSwitch® Potassium process works?
“We are very happy to make a crossedsector alliance with electric vehicle batteries and pulp and paper industries on our mission to close the loop on recycling useful industrial waste. The goal: producing a fossil-free high-quality fertilizer with significantly less negative climate impact than today’s standards.
For this project, we chose Van Iperen International as a reliable marketing partner. As a market-leading company, its innovative and sustainable approach to transforming conventional agriculture really inspires us!”
GreenSwitch® Nitrate, fertilizing a green future!
Nitrate
Based on Pure Green Agriculture technology, the GreenSwitch® process produces sustainable soluble Nitrate fertilizers with a negligible carbon footprint. Unlike other organic fertilizers, the GreenSwitch® process goes one step further and produces Nitrogen, coming from animal manure in the form of Ammonium (NH4), in Nitrate form.
GreenSwitch® is a completely new production process in which energy consumption is reduced by more than 90%. It will also give organic certified farmers and conventional high-tech growers the tool they need to apply Nitrogen for immediate uptake and manage crop nutrition better while reducing their carbon footprint and nitrogen (ammonia) emissions significantly.
How GreenSwitch® Nitrate patented process works?
“Hoogeveen Plants aims to be fully climate-neutral by 2030. For it, we’ve integrated GreenSwitch® Original into our fertilization program.
After several months of use, we are satisfied with the use of GreenSwitch® Original and moreover, it contributes to reduce our CO2 foorptint”.
Plants for Plants®, the plant-based Biostimulant from cultivated crops
Your crop has a story to tell. About its needs. About its resistance against Abiotic Stress. About the best circumstances for it to prosper in. We listened to your crop for ten years. Then we came with an answer: an entirely plant-based Biostimulant. We call it Plants for Plants®. And now you can use it.
Proven and consistent Biostimulation effects
• Clear evidences of Water Use Efficiency (WUE) and Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) increase resulting often in significant higher yield and quality, even in conditions that appear to be comfortable for the crop (no visible stress)
• 10 years of scientific research using phenotypic, genotypic and metabolomics methods
• Well identified active ingredients called Standardized Metabolites Phytocomplex: Flavonoides, Heterosides and Organic Acids
The first fully controlled plant-based Biostimulant
• We screen and grow the selected cultivars, we extract the active ingredients and formulate the final product
• Sustainable: no exhaustion of natural resources
• Suitable for Organic and Conventional Agriculture
• Environmental friendly, safe for users and consumers
“I was really interested in the fact that Plants for Plants 4-Terra can help the plants to better uptake the phosphorus from the soil. The trials performed were really fruitful and effective, the number of melons that ripened early was impressive comparing to conventional fertilization, which resulted in early harvest and higher profit. Am sure that I will repeat the experience next season”.
