Phosphate rock

Who supplies the world · tonnes of mine production · observed 2024 · 2025 est.

Phosphate rock mined, the raw material of most fertiliser. The latest year is a USGS estimate.

Figures are mine production — the MCS statistics row “Mine production” — as published by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026. They measure what left mines in each calendar year: not reserves in the ground, and not refined or smelted output, which for several of these commodities is concentrated in different hands. 2025 is the USGS estimate; 2024 is the reported figure.

Share of world production

Each bar is that nation’s share of the published world total for the 2025 estimate. Shares are computed against the world total itself, never against the sum of the producers listed.

Press a row — the specimen turns over to its label. The track is 100% of the world total: a quarter-width bar is a quarter of the world.
