A Stockholm University study finds that the phosphorus supply chain lacks transparency, with up to 90% of phosphate lost from mine to fork. Global food production uses 53 million tonnes of phosphate fertilizers a year, processed from 270 million tonnes of rock.
The study says the market is tending toward a Moroccan monopoly.
The findings highlight concentration risk and reporting gaps in phosphate supply, which could affect long-term fertilizer prices. It is a research finding with no immediate price impact.
