Foskor is a producer and distributor of phosphate rock, phosphate-based fertilisers, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and magnetite locally and internationally.

We are based in South Africa and employ a total of 2 383 people including contractors, of which 1 732 are permanent employees, spread across the Phalaborwa mining division, the Richards Bay acid division
and Midrand corporate division (head office).

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.

OUR MARKETS
We are the leading domestic producer and supplier of phosphate-based products, phosphate rock, phosphoric acid and MAP.
Beyond serving the local market and SADC regional markets (DRC, eSwatini, Zimbabwe, Zambia, etc.) we supply phosphoric acid to international markets such as Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Europe and India.
While the bulk of our phosphate rock concentrate is used in our phosphoric acid manufacturing plant, we also export available products to international markets (Europe, Asia and South America).
