Direct Use Rock Phosphate (DURP)

We provide Direct Use Rock Phosphate (DURP) specifically designed for farmers, packaged conveniently in JUMBO (1.5T) and 50 kg bags. With its lower P₂O₅ grades, DURP is ideal for direct application in agriculture, offering a natural and affordable source of phosphorus. It is particularly effective for crops such as palm trees in the Far East, where gradual nutrient release supports long term soil fertility and sustainable growth. By delivering DURP in practical bag sizes, we ensure accessibility, ease of handling, and cost effective solutions that empower farming communities to achieve reliable yields at competitive prices.
