“On April 18, 2023, the first shipment of phosphate rock powder imported by Sinofert from Egypt arrived at Zhenjiang Port in Jiangsu Province by the freighter "Song of Heilan". In addition, the remaining two ships with a total of 90,000 tons of phosphate rock powder will also arrive in China one after another, helping to ensure the supply and price stability of the domestic phosphate fertilizer market.
In the spring of 2023, the phosphate fertilizer market at home and abroad is complex and changeable, and the supply of phosphate rock, an important raw material for phosphate fertilizer, will be in short supply due to factors such as mountain closures in winter, restricted mining, and poor transportation. In order to solve the production problems of the enterprise, Sinofert successfully imported high-grade phosphate rock from Egypt after careful discussions and several rounds of negotiations with foreign businessmen.
The phosphate rock powder imported this time alleviated the shortage of domestic high-grade phosphate rock supply to a certain extent, and also opened up new phosphate rock raw material channels for major domestic phosphate fertilizer companies, and further strengthened the cooperation relationship of the entire industrial chain.”
