# Sri Lanka will produce own Single Super Phosphate for domestic use

> Sri Lankan companies plan to produce Single Super Phosphate locally using Eppawala rock phosphate, as a substitute for imported TSP. Sri Lanka has had trouble sourcing phosphate fertilizer because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Its annual TSP import bill is about $36 million, and the country needs roughly 15,000 metric tons of TSP.
