WHAT WE PRODUCE
We mine phosphate rock in Phalaborwa and transfer it by rail to our Richards Bay facility, where we use it to produce phosphoric acid and granular fertilisers – MAP (monoammonium phosphates). We also produce sulphuric acid, which is used in the production of phosphoric acid, and we sell excess sulphuric acid that becomes available. Foskor also has magnetite, a by-product of phosphate rock beneficiation which was mined in the past and stored in a stockpile. Currently, there is no magnetite mined in the process.

Beyond serving the local market and SADC regional markets (DRC, eSwatini, Zimbabwe, Zambia etc) we supply phosphoric acid and mono ammonium phosphate to international markets, particularly India, the world’s largest market of phosphate products. We also supply phosphoric acid to other international markets (Brazil, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Belgium and France).
