CVR Partners, LP UAN

UAN Company Overview

CVR Partners, LP is a publicly traded master limited partnership focused on the production and distribution of nitrogen-based fertilizers. The company operates within the agricultural inputs and chemicals industry, supplying products primarily used to enhance crop yields. Its core products are ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), both of which are essential nitrogen fertilizers for corn, wheat, and other staple crops.

The partnership’s revenue is primarily driven by fertilizer sales to agricultural customers, distributors, and wholesalers in North America. CVR Partners is strategically positioned due to its use of petroleum coke (pet coke) as a feedstock, which historically has provided a cost advantage compared to natural gas–based nitrogen producers during periods of high natural gas prices. The company was formed in 2011 and became publicly traded the same year, with its assets acquired from affiliates of CVR Energy, Inc., which remains a controlling stakeholder.
