An unnamed source at Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources said the ministry has not fully stopped phosphate exports. Existing export contracts with overseas companies remain in force, with some running for one to three years; the current approach is to honor those contracts while limiting exports under the broader policy framework.
Continued shipments under active contracts mean phosphate remains available to buyers, although limits on new exports could tighten supply over time. The news is modestly supportive for phosphate rock prices if restrictions constrain future export volumes.
