Howard Fertilizer & Chemical has evolved from a 1932 small fertilizer operation in downtown Orlando, FL serving the Central Florida citrus growers to the multi-site fertilizer and chemical distribution company of today. In 2014, Howard continued along its multi-year path of record setting growth while maintaining its status as a top producer of fertilizer in Florida. Still family-owned and operated, it is managed by Robert M. Howard Jr. with sons Frank and Jon actively involved in key facets of the company.
