NPK 12-12-17 with MgO

Description

1. Product Overview
NPK 12-12-17 with MgO is a homogenous granular compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium oxide. It is primarily used in commercial agriculture for potassium-demanding crops such as potatoes, tobacco, vegetables, and fruit trees. The key value proposition lies in its low-chloride, high-potassium matrix combined with MgO to prevent chlorosis and increase stress tolerance. This product is strategically important as global soil depletion and quality-driven food production require nutrient blends that maximize both tonnage and marketable grade.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: N 12%, P₂O₅ 12%, K₂O 17%, MgO 2%

• Chloride content: <5% (low-chloride formulation)

• Physical form: Free-flowing, homogeneous granules

• Granulometry: 90–95% between 2–4 mm

• Bulk density: 0.95–1.05 g/cm³

• Packaging options: 50 kg multi-layer laminated bags, 1 MT big bags, or bulk in container liners

• Shelf life: 24 months in dry, ventilated storage below 40°C

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Large-scale row cropping, horticulture, plantation crops (oil palm, rubber, coconut), and specialty export agriculture.

• Operational use cases: Basal application pre-planting, side-dressing at tuber initiation for potatoes, and post-flowering for fruit trees.

• Performance advantage: Higher K₂O-to-N ratio improves fruit firmness and shelf life compared to balanced grades like 15-15-15. MgO inclusion corrects hidden magnesium deficiency without extra passes, lowering labor and fuel costs.

• Cost efficiency: Single-product application replaces separate potassium-magnesium blends, reducing inventory complexity and blending errors.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001-certified granulation with ≤2% caking tendency per 6-month storage test.

• Supply reliability: Year-round production with buffer stock in regional hubs (Rotterdam, Singapore, Dubai).

• Logistics capability: Vessel loading at 20,000 MT per shipment; rail-to-truck transfer in destination country.

• Price competitiveness: Stable quarterly pricing based on potash and phosphate indices, with volume rebates >5,000 MT.

• Sustainability: Low-dust formula reduces field loss; MgO from certified non-exploitative sources.

• Technical support: Batch-specific analysis certificates available within 24 hours of dispatch.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT

• Loading capacity: 27 MT per 20-foot dry container (standard), 54 MT per 40-foot high-cube container (liner bags or bulk)
