Turkish fertilizer producer Gűbre Fabrikalari TAŞ (Gűbretaş) plans to discontinue TSP production at its Yarimca production site in order to upgrade the plant to produce slow-release fertilizers, Bloomberg reported, citing a company statement.
Gűbretaş said the market share of slow-release fertilizers has been growing recently and the plant’s technology is outdated.
Yarimca is the company’s main production site, where it produces some 800,000 mt/y of NPK fertilizers, according to its annual report. The facility is reportedly Gűbretaş’ only TSP production site, with a nameplate capacity of some 185,000 mt/y.
