Phosphate is considered by the United Nations as a critical element for food security.
Phosphate deposits contain phosphorus, which is a vital element for growth in plants, animals, and humans. There is no artificial substitute for phosphorous for this purpose. It is therefore an essential element used in the production of fertiliser and animal feed to promote and sustain health and growth.
There is no substitute for phosphate in agriculture.
