In the inaugural episode of Energy in Action, Intertek Caleb Brett's new podcast series exploring the challenges and opportunities shaping global energy and commodity markets, host Nick Davies sits down with supply chain and commodity trading expert Hiti Taluja to discuss the evolving landscape of fertilizer supply chains.

As Australia becomes increasingly reliant on imported fertilizers, the industry faces growing complexity driven by geopolitical uncertainty, shifting trade dynamics, biosecurity requirements, ethical sourcing expectations, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience across fertilizers, chemicals, and bulk shipping logistics, Hiti shares practical insights into supplier due diligence, supply chain governance, compliance risk management, and the importance of building trusted, resilient sourcing relationships.

Together, Nick and Hiti explore why transparency, verification, and independent assurance have become essential tools for organizations seeking to protect supply continuity and strengthen commercial performance in an increasingly volatile market.

Listen in for expert perspectives on navigating risk, maintaining compliance, and building more resilient fertilizer supply chains for the future.
