About this data
Methodology: capacityDefinitions2
- Identified capacity
- Identified capacity at the end of 2024: sum of site capacities from producers' documents or authorities, converted to nutrient. Compared with the USGS country reference.
- Coverage
- Identified capacity divided by the USGS facility capacity of the country, corrected where it is shown to be wrong.
Sources and reliability2
Official statistics and the producers' own documents only, cleaned and reconciled by FertRadar. Every figure keeps a reference to its document, and every correction to the customs data is documented one by one.
- U.S. Geological Survey, Minerals Yearbook (Public domain (U.S. Government work))
- Producers and authorities, Annual reports
The document, page and date behind each figure are listed in the Pro data files. Sources and licences
Notes6
- China has the largest identified phosphate rock capacity at the end of 2024: 15.7 Mt P₂O₅, 23% of the identified total, ahead of Morocco (14.7 Mt) and the United States (7.5 Mt).
- Chinese producers without a published capacity account for at least 18.4 Mt P₂O₅: the gap between China's 2024 output and its identified capacity.
- Capacity: nameplate or stated capacity at the end of 2024, 100% of each site, as published; calculated values are flagged with their method.
- Potash in K₂O (potassium chloride at 60% K₂O unless a grade is published); phosphate rock in P₂O₅ (published grade, else the USGS national average grade, else 30%).
- The reference is the USGS facility capacity by country (2024), corrected where it is shown to be wrong; coverage = identified capacity / reference.
- Production 2024: USGS Minerals Yearbook 2024, except Syria phosphate rock (FertRadar estimate from partners' imports, low confidence).
