Jordan Phosphate Mines Co. (JPMC), Amman, has inked an agreement with India’s Coromandel Fertiliser Co. to supply the Indian company with 100,000 mt of phosphoric acid through the end of this year, the Jordanian producer said in a June 27 filing to the Amman Stock Exchange.
The acid will be supplied from Indo-Jordan Chemicals Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMC.
JPMC Chairman Muhammad Thnaibat said JPMC and Coromandel are also set to sign a deal for the supply of Jordanian phosphate rock and DAP “until the fourth quarter of 2022 and in 2023,” according to the filing.
In a separate development, the Jordanian company said it has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Amman-based Munir Sukhtian Group Trading Co. to set up a plant in Aqaba to produce 20,000 mt/y of food or technical grade phosphoric acid for use in the food industry.
