Saudi Phosphate Mining and Fertiliser Industry

Saudi phosphate mining and fertiliser production represent one of the Kingdom’s most significant mining sector success stories: a world-scale operation that has transformed a remote northern desert region into a major hub of global fertiliser production. Through Ma’aden and its joint ventures with international partners, Saudi Arabia has developed an integrated phosphate value chain stretching from mine to finished fertiliser products, positioning the Kingdom as a top-tier global phosphate producer. The industry directly addresses one of the twenty-first century’s most critical challenges: feeding a growing global population.
