Australian Potash Ltd., Subiaco, Western Australia, said on Sept. 15 its K-Brite™ sulfate of potash (SOP) has been certified by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in certified organic production and food processing in compliance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Organic Program. The company’s Lake Wells SOP (LSOP) Project, northeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, is expected to see its first production in mid-2023.
Australian Potash noted that both Sri Lanka and China have been taking action to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in favor of organics, and that the company has offtake positions with both of them.
