Welcome to this video where we explore the Phosphate family of fertilizers. Phosphate fertilizers are made up of products such as MAP (monoammonium phosphate) DAP (diammonium phosphate), SSP (single superphosphate) TSP (triple superphosphate). • In this video, we highlight the main aspects that are key to pricing: • • Global supply-demand balance • • Overview of production process and raw materials – a key driver of production cost. • • The countries or regions where these products are produced and trade flows • • Price trends/cyclicality • South Africa’s phosphate demand is around 0.8% of the world total and the whole SADC region combined accounts for around 1% of global demand. Environmental restrictions have a big impact on phosphate usage - the permitting of new phosphate rock mines is more difficult and the consumption of phosphates near sensitive wetlands is more heavily regulated. Nutrient use efficiency is a core focus for the phosphates sector. • ----------------------------- • 00:17 introduction • 02:09 Global supply-demand factors • 05:54 Phosphate trade flows • 09:10 Production costs and project economics • 12:45 Price drivers for phosphate • Please visit our website at http://www.fcurve.co.za for more information and insight into the world of fertilizers.
