Reliable Global Supply of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)

We supply Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) to importers, distributors, cooperatives, and agricultural buyers in markets where CAN's safety profile, dual-N form, and calcium content are valued over standard ammonium nitrate. CAN is widely used in Europe, the Middle East, and increasingly in Africa and Asia. Available from approved producers in Europe, the Middle East, and other origins, subject to availability and destination compliance requirements.

Wholesale supply only

We supply business buyers only — no retail sales. Orders ship as LCL or FCL.

Read the full Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) product overview

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) typically contains 27% total nitrogen, provided as a 1:1 mixture of ammonium-N and nitrate-N, with calcium carbonate (limestone) incorporated at approximately 20–30% to improve safety, reduce sensitivity, and deliver calcium to the crop. The nitrate-N fraction is immediately available to plants, while the ammonium-N is released more slowly — providing both a rapid and sustained nitrogen response from a single application.

CAN is the primary nitrogen fertilizer in European agriculture and is gaining adoption in other markets as buyers seek alternatives to straight ammonium nitrate, which faces regulatory controls in many jurisdictions due to its explosive potential. CAN's regulatory status is generally more permissive than ammonium nitrate, facilitating import approvals in a wider range of destination countries. The calcium content also supports calcium nutrition and soil pH management, particularly beneficial on acidic soils.

Our CAN supply is sourced from European-affiliated producers and approved facilities in the Middle East. We assist buyers with regulatory pre-clearance documentation, COA compliance, and independent inspection. Destination-specific import regulations for CAN (particularly nitrogen content thresholds) are reviewed at the enquiry stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CAN and straight ammonium nitrate (AN)?

CAN incorporates calcium carbonate (limestone) into the granule, diluting the ammonium nitrate content to typically 27% N. This dilution reduces sensitivity to detonation and gives CAN a more permissive regulatory status than straight AN in most countries. CAN also delivers calcium to the crop alongside nitrogen.

Is CAN permitted to import in my destination country?

CAN regulations vary by destination. Most countries permit CAN import where nitrogen content is ≤ 28% and the product meets safety composition requirements. We review destination import regulations at the enquiry stage and can advise on documentation requirements. It is the buyer's responsibility to confirm import compliance in their jurisdiction.

What origins supply CAN?

We source CAN primarily from European producers and Middle Eastern facilities (Egypt, Saudi Arabia). European-grade CAN often meets EN 15898 or equivalent quality standards. Please specify your destination so we can advise on the most compliant and cost-effective origin.

Can CAN be supplied in bulk vessel quantities?

Yes, bulk vessel supply is available from certain origins for enquiries from 3,000 MT. Container supply from 25 MT per 20ft is also available. CAN requires careful packaging and handling documentation given its ammonium nitrate content; we ensure all required safety certifications are in order.

What safety documents are required for CAN shipments?

CAN shipments require an MSDS/Safety Data Sheet, compliance with IMDG dangerous goods classification where applicable, and in some destinations an import permit or pre-approval for ammonium-nitrate-containing fertilizers. We coordinate all required safety and compliance documentation as part of our service.

Is CAN suitable for alkaline soils?

The calcium carbonate component of CAN has a mild liming effect, which can benefit acidic soils but is not ideal for strongly alkaline soils. For alkaline soils, urea, ammonium sulphate, or other acid-forming nitrogen sources may be more agronomically appropriate. We recommend soil analysis to guide nitrogen source selection.
