Tackling Terorrism - Secure Your Fertiliser

Terrorist groups have used fertiliser to make explosive devices for many years. Even in small quantities, some fertilisers can cause destruction.

If you are involved in using, storing or making fertiliser, you need to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

For guidance and information on the security measures you should take, visit the government's Secure Your Fertiliser website. 

The site is aimed at:

• farmers
• buyers
• agricultural contractors
• hauliers
• merchants
• blenders
• importers
• manufacturers
• other organisations involved in fertiliser storage
