Phosphorous is vital for life and growth. It is vital for plants animals, humans and for sustainably feeding the world growing population.Phosphate is the natural source of phosphorous, an element that provides a quarter of all the nutrients that plants need for their growth and development.Phosphorous is used in many products, and is an essential ingredient in all fertilizers.

Following its mining, the rock is then processed, and purified - realizing its full potential.

Phosphate is a sedimentary rock formed millions of years ago by the accumulation of organic matter on the ocean floor. Phosphate reserves are found in Africa, North America, Kazakhstan, the Middle East and Oceania but the world’s largest deposits are located in Morocco, which is also one of the global leaders in phosphate extraction.

Phosphate rock has a granular texture and a brown to black color and is often found alongside silt, clay and pyrite when mined. Phosphate pieces are usually a couple of centimeters in size and have to be sifted out of the other material. Deposits can be found in both these small chunks as well as in large seams.
