Granular Phosphate Buyer Guide: Grades 21–30, Size, COA and Export
A practical sourcing and technical guide for fertilizer manufacturers, agricultural suppliers, industrial processors, importers and bulk buyers evaluating Egyptian granular phosphate grades, particle size, chemical analysis, documentation, packing and shipment terms.
Granular phosphate purchasing should not be based only on the grade name or quoted P₂O₅ percentage. Buyers should review the complete chemistry, particle-size distribution, moisture, fine fraction, intended application, packing, inspection scope, shipping terms and current Certificate of Analysis.
What Is Granular Phosphate?
Granular phosphate is phosphate-based mineral material supplied with a controlled granular physical profile. It may be reviewed by fertilizer manufacturers, agricultural suppliers, phosphoric acid processors, importers and industrial mineral buyers.
The term granular describes the physical form. It does not replace the required chemical analysis, P₂O₅ grade, particle-size distribution or buyer-specific acceptance criteria.
Natural phosphate supplied as powder, screened material, fines or lumps.
Phosphate material supplied with an agreed granular size profile.
A separate processed fertilizer with its own production route and specification.
A concentrated phosphate fertilizer that should not be confused with granular phosphate.

Granular Phosphate Frequently Asked Questions
What granular phosphate grades can be discussed?
Phosphate grades from 21 to 30 may be reviewed according to required product form, availability, application, size and current COA. The current standard granular TDS presents grades 27–30.
What is the main granular phosphate size?
The current standard reference is 1–5 mm greater than 90%, with material below 1 mm controlled below 10%. Final limits must be agreed per order.
Are grades 21–26 guaranteed standard granular stock?
No. These grades require specific review of available material, granulation, size distribution, quantity and current Certificate of Analysis.
Is granular phosphate the same as SSP or TSP?
No. SSP and TSP are processed fertilizer products with different production routes and specifications.
Where can buyers download the technical PDF?
The Granular Phosphate Technical Data Sheet is available through the PDF section on this page and through the TAS Technical Resources page.
