IPI is a non-governmental and non-profit organisation with its headquarters in Horgen, Switzerland. Founded in 1952 by German and French potash producers, it is now supported by producers in Europe and the Near East.
IPI carries out the major part of its work through a network of Coordinators, that work closely with researchers, government offices, extension and agribusiness.
