JSC Crimea TITAN - leading producer of phosphate fertilizers in Ukraine

Market always gives a right of choice. “What kind of commodity should I give preference to?” - buyers face this type of problem more and more frequently while buying any commodity. Fortunately, a word “shortage” virtually disappeared from our everyday life. But, for example, market faced phosphate fertilizers shortage just 3years ago.

The Russian companies were the key suppliers of phosphates to the Ukrainian market. In fact, they were monopolists in the course of those years, and there was no wide variety of these products to choose from.

Now the situation has changed, and there is a considerable contribution of the JSC “Crimea TITAN” to it as the Company started producing the fertilizers of this type three years ago. Now the enterprise has been supplying market with 9 - 10 thousand tons of ammophos every month.

Except for ammophos the Company produces other fertilizers: diammonium superphosphate (phosphatic) and ammonium sulphate (nitric ) .
The production of fertilizers of one or another type depends on seasonality and demand for products. The main point in an enterprise’s work is the quality of products and provided services, in which the package of goods has no small part.
At the option of a client the goods can be shipped in bulk and in pack: in 35 kg polypropylene sacks or in “big-bag” containers with carrying capacity from 600 kg to 1000 kg.

But Monoammonium Phosphate (known under the trade mark of “Ammophos”) is the key product among the fertilizers produced by the JSC “Crimea titan”. His physical and chemical properties are shown in the table below.

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is used in agriculture for corn, fruit, vegetable, berries and decorative cultures growing both in the open and under cover. It is applied to different soils as a basic, pre-sowing or starter fertilizer and as a plant feed in dry and liquid forms for summer fertilizing. The original feedstock, used by the JSC “Crimea titan” for the MAP production, differs from the raw material whish is used to produce the same fertilizer in Russia where phosphate fertilizers are made of apatite. In distinction from them the “Crimea titan” imports rock phosphates from far-abroad countries. A huge amount of work has been done by the Company in order to master manufacture based on the raw material of this type. The Company’s R&D department carried out a full battery of research studies to develop a new “know-how” for fertilizers production. These studies showed that agrochemical efficiency of fertilizers made of imported rock phosphates is not inferior to the efficiency of fertilizers made of apatite concentrate and, what is more, the fertilizers produced by the “Crimea titan” do not have an unfavorable impact on human health ,environment, aquatic and soil ecosystems and on quality of agricultural products.

These researches have also enabled the Company to produce the MAP which has a stable white color, stable uniform granules and Р205 (phosphorus) performances: 52% of basic nutrient element. These parameters make the Product suitable both for agriculture and production of factory-mixed fertilizers.

The Crimean ammophos is notable for its high European quality and fully meets requirements of the European standards...
