Market Overview

The term phosphate rock market refers specifically to the trade and exchange of phosphate rock, a type of sedimentary rock that is rich in phosphate minerals. Phosphate rock is mainly used as a feedstock for producing phosphoric acid, which is required to manufacture fertilizers, animal feed additives, and various other consumer and industrial products. Phosphate fertilizers are necessary to ensure optimal crop productivity as food demand expands in a world, population is growing at an unprecedented rate. Applying phosphate rock can improve soil fertility and soil health to help maintain farming sustainability over the long term. To ensure environmental protection and sustainable management and extraction of phosphate rock, governments control the extraction and processing of phosphate rock. In addition, governments establish regulated quality standards for fertilizers, and phosphate rock to guarantee that agricultural inputs are effective and safe.
