Completion of UK joint venture between Terra Industries Inc. and Kemira GrowHow Oyj

Kemira GrowHow Oyj and Terra Industries Inc. are pleased to confirm
the formation of a joint venture company, GrowHow UK Limited,
combining their fertilizer and associated process chemicals
businesses in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
Completion of the joint venture follows confirmation from the UK
Competition Commission that it has concluded its review and approved
the transaction.

The move is designed to secure a sustainable, long-term base for
manufacturing fertilizer and process chemicals in the UK. The
combined business will produce ammonium nitrate, which is the main
nitrogen fertilizer consumed in the UK as well as compound
fertilisers to service both the UK and Ireland markets.

Mike Bennett, President and CEO of Terra Industries Inc. said, "We
are pleased that the Competition Commission has concluded its review
and approved the formation of our joint venture.  It will enable us
to continue to provide high quality products and services to our
customers, and will significantly expand our opportunities. By
securing a long-term manufacturing base in the UK, we are investing
in the future."

Heikki Sirvio, CEO of Kemira GrowHow Oyj, said, "Our new joint
venture will position our combined UK fertiliser and process
chemicals operations to achieve long-term success by reducing
overheads and allowing us to optimise our product mix. We are pleased
that the Competition Commission has approved the joint venture and
would like to thank our customers and other stakeholders for their
support during the review."

GrowHow UK Limited will be owned 50/50 by Kemira GrowHow and Terra
and will include Kemira GrowHow's site at Ince, and Terra's sites on
Teesside and Severnside. The annual turnover of the operations
included in the joint venture exceeded 500 million euros in 2006.
Through the joint venture, Kemira GrowHow and Terra expect to create
significant cost and operational synergies to enhance their ability
to service and compete in increasingly challenging markets.

Kemira GrowHow UK Limited is the largest UK producer of compound
fertilizers and Terra Nitrogen (UK) Limited is the largest UK
producer of ammonium nitrate.

Lazard is acting as financial adviser to Terra. Lehman Brothers is
acting as financial adviser to Kemira GrowHow.
