Jordan's JPMC shareholders approve Nippon sale

  • Spanish Market: Fertilizers
  • 28/04/21

The shareholders of Jordanian fertilizer producer and mining firm Jordan Phosphates Mines (JPMC) today approved the sale of its holdings in its Nippon Jordan Fertilizer joint venture.

Shareholders approved the full disposal of its holdings by more than 90pc, according to a source. The vote took place today at 11:30am local time. There was no comment from either JPMC or Nippon.

Nippon is a joint venture between JPMC (70pc), Arab Potash (20pc) and Japan's Mitsubishi (10pc).

The Nippon facility has an annual capacity of 300,000 t/yr of DAP, MAP, NPKs and NPS. The facility produced 225,000t of DAP/NPKs in 2020, up from 197,000t in 2019. Fertilizer sales were 208,000t last year.

Egyptian phosrock exports resuming

Egyptian phosrock exports resuming

London, 4 June (Argus) — Egyptian exporters are again submitting applications to load phosphate rock cargoes after a hiatus of around a month caused by uncertainty over government export policy. Market participants say exports will continue as normal to the end of the year, but that 2027 availability is not yet clear. Prices for new cargoes have not yet emerged. Some traders expect them to settle higher, but others see stable June prices and the potential for a rise in July. Higher oil prices are pushing up mining and trucking costs in Egypt. Seasonal demand for transporting the latest wheat and beetroot crops is also tightening availability of trucks to take phosphate rock from mines to ports. Egyptian phosphate rock producers and exporters stopped offering fresh cargoes after petroleum and mineral resources minister Karim Badawi stated on 3 May that Egypt would stop approving new exports and prioritise supply for domestic phosphate producers. No legal memorandum followed and the government has not issued any official statements on the subject since the 3 May press release. The government is reportedly reviewing Egypt's expected 2027 demand for phosphate rock. In the press release, Badawi highlighted ongoing phosphate projects in Egypt, including Misr Phosphate's joint venture with industrial group Indorama. Exporters argue that lower grades of Egyptian rock — notably from the Abu Tartour mines — draw less demand from domestic consumers than higher grades from other mines. Egypt is a significant supplier of rock to Asia-Pacific, much of that supply being 26-27pc P2O5 rock from Abu Tartour.

EU finance ministers eye agreement on CBAM changes

EU finance ministers eye agreement on CBAM changes

Brussels, 4 June (Argus) — EU finance ministers are seeking agreement on their position for legal changes to the bloc's carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), extending the scope to more downstream products and adding anti-circumvention measures. Final tweaks and clarifications specify the European Commission's power to suspend CBAM for problematic sectors. The text drawn up for finance ministers, who meet on 12 June, takes account of a majority that has spoken out against giving the commission broad empowerment to temporarily remove specific goods from CBAM under a new article 27a. Diplomats noted the risks of "jeopardising" the effectiveness of CBAM and the "imprecise" scope of the powers. To bridge differences, Cyprus, chairing discussions between diplomats, has built on a previous draft to specify the conditions that the commission could use to trigger CBAM suspension. This includes average non-CBAM-related import price increases of more than 50pc compared with average prices for the same CBAM goods over the previous 10 years. Price increases would need to be sustained over a period of at least six months. If finance ministers agree on the text on 12 June, EU states would be ready for negotiations over a final legal draft with the European Parliament after summer. Cypriot diplomats suggested article 27a remains in the European Council's draft position as a "good basis" for the talks. During a first discussion, members of parliament's environment committee broadly supported deleting the new article 27a. But some members have called for partial or full CBAM suspension . The committee is expected to vote on the issue on 6 July, followed by the whole parliament in early September. Discussions on CBAM's suspension have continued following the commission's adoption last month of a fertilizer action plan, including measures such as financial relief for farmers, and assessing stockpiling options for key fertilizers and inputs.

Kuwait's KPC raises June sulphur price to $805/t fob

London, 3 June (Argus) — Kuwait's state-owned sulphur producer KPC has set the June Kuwait Sulphur Price (KSP) at $805/t fob Kuwait, up by $40/t from the May KSP of $765/t fob. Freight rates as of 28 May were $154-170/t for a 30,000-35,000t shipment to Chinese ports. This implies a delivered cost of $959-975/t cfr, with additional insurance premiums raising prices further on a delivered basis. Loadings continue for June shipments, but at a reduced rate. The delivery period for Middle East sulphur remains uncertain with the strait of Hormuz still largely closed, and no sulphur vessels crossing since last week.

India buys Moroccan DAP, TSP

India buys Moroccan DAP, TSP

London, 2 June (Argus) — A major Indian importer has bought 100,000t each of DAP and TSP for shipment from Morocco in June-July. Half of the quantity for each product will be delivered to each of India's east and west coasts. The DAP is priced at $935/t cfr east coast and $930/t cfr west coast India. This is in line with awards under IPL's tender in May , which secured more than 1.3mn t of DAP. The TSP is priced at $710/t cfr for both east and west coasts. This is in line with IPL's counterbids under its tender in May, after getting offers for 410,000t at prices ranging from $770-850/t cfr. The prices in this sale are likely to net back to the $880s/t fob Morocco for the DAP and the $660s/t fob for the TSP.

Oman’s Omifco plans IPO

Oman’s Omifco plans IPO

Amsterdam, 2 June (Argus) — Omani urea and ammonia producer Omifco aims to float 25pc of its existing shares on the Muscat exchange through an initial public offering (IPO). The precise timeline for the IPO has not been confirmed, but the firm has indicated an expected listing at some point in July, according to its website. Oman's OQ owns half the business, with India's Iffco and Kribhco holding a quarter each. Omifco produced 2.07mn t of urea in 2025, almost all which was exported and sold by OQ, with India accounting for 71pc of deliveries in 2023-25, while 17pc went to Latin America. The firm also produced 1.35mn t of ammonia last year, with India receiving 61pc of shipments in 2023-25 and 23pc shipped to African markets. Omifco exports from the Omani port of Sur. The firm has yet to publish an IPO prospectus, but reported revenue of just over $800mn last year and a profit margin of 40pc, implying profit of just under $321mn. In comparison, fellow supplier Fertiglobe, which operates nitrogen facilities in the UAE, Egypt and Algeria, posted revenue of $2.83bn in 2025, while Saudi Arabia's Sabic reported revenue of 13.1bn riyals ($3.49bn) last year. Omifco is the top urea producer in Oman and the joint third-largest producer in the Mideast Gulf — not including Iranian suppliers — after QatarEnergy and Sabic and has roughly the same urea capacity as Fertiglobe's Fertil facility in the UAE. The timing and speed of the IPO launch are not surprising. Urea and ammonia prices spiked in the aftermath of the US-Iran war at the end of February and the effective closure of the strait of Hormuz. The Middle East is the largest urea exporting region, shipping around 20mn t/yr, or 35pc of global seaborne trade, of which just over 17mn t/yr either loads beyond the strait of Hormuz or from Iran. But Omani suppliers have escaped the snarled traffic in the wider region in recent months and were largely able to continue operations and shipments, capitalising on the highest nitrogen prices in nearly four years. But urea prices have tracked lower in recent weeks, having hit a peak in mid-April. By Harry Minihan Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026.
