Product overview — MOP 62% K2O

NPK compound plants, national potash distributors and field-application buyers request MOP 62% potash price per ton when sourcing high-analysis muriate of potash for bulk cargo. The 62% K2O grade carries more potassium per tonne than standard 60% MOP, lowering delivered cost per kg K2O — request a bulk quote for granules 1–4 mm from 1,000 MT with mill COA.

Granules sized 1–4 mm flow freely through bulk blending lines and match the particle distribution of DAP and urea in NPK compound plants across South Asia, East Africa and Latin America. MOP 62 is the default potassium source for chloride-tolerant cereals, oilseeds and most field vegetables; chloride-sensitive crops (tobacco, grapes, potato seed, avocado) require sulphate of potash (SOP) instead. Importers also use MOP 62 in 15-15-15 and 12-12-17 compounds and in industrial KCl applications including drilling fluids and water softening.

Supply origins include Baltic, Belarus-transit and Canadian potash complexes, with MENA consolidation for buyers routing through Gulf and Red Sea ports. Sodium chloride is held to 3.0% maximum and moisture to 0.5% maximum to limit caking during tropical warehousing and extended ocean transit.

Loading ports & logistics — MOP 62% K2O

MOP 62 is non-hazardous but hygroscopic — moisture barrier tarps on bulk holds and covered warehouse transfer at discharge limit caking in tropical climates. Contract MOQ is 1,000 MT via 50 kg PP bags or 1,000 kg FIBC in containers, break-bulk coaster parcels, or bagged lots on multipurpose vessels.

FOB at Baltic terminals (Klaipėda, Ust-Luga), Canadian West Coast ports and MENA consolidation hubs. Typical deepwater bulk potash moves in handysize to panamax parcels from 5,000 MT up to 60,000 MT; smaller 1,000–3,000 MT coasters serve draft-limited discharge berths in West Africa and Southeast Asia.

CFR/CIF to South Asia (Mumbai, Chittagong, Karachi), Southeast Asia (Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta), East Africa (Mombasa, Dar es Salaam) and Brazil. Typical lead time 15–30 days from contract to loading window, subject to berth allocation and seasonal vessel positioning on potash routes.

Packaging & documentation — MOP 62% K2O

Bulk shipment in vessel holds with moisture barrier tarps, or in 50 kg PP woven bags with inner PE liner and 1,000 kg FIBC big bags palletised and stretch-wrapped. Each lot ships with a mill certificate of analysis (COA), commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. Phytosanitary certificates are issued where destination customs require them. SDS per GHS is provided on request. Third-party inspection at loading (SGS, Bureau Veritas) available for LC-backed or first-time contracts.

FAQ — MOP 62% K2O

Why do NPK plants prefer MOP 62 over the 60% trade grade?

The extra 2 percentage points of K2O let compounders hit higher analysis targets — such as 12-12-17 or 15-15-15 — with less filler and lower freight cost per unit of potassium on long CFR routes. Lower NaCl (3.0% max vs 3.5% in MOP 60) also reduces chloride carry-over in chloride-sensitive blends.

What bulk vessel classes carry MOP 62 from load port to destination?

Contract MOQ of 1,000 MT ships as bagged containers or coaster parcels; typical deepwater bulk potash runs 5,000–60,000 MT on handysize to capesize tonnage from Baltic, Canadian and MENA load terminals. Smaller 1,000–3,000 MT coasters serve regional buyers when draft or berth constraints limit parcel size.

Which export documents accompany an MOP 62 shipment?

Each lot ships with a mill certificate of analysis, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. Phytosanitary certificates are issued where the destination customs regime requires them. Third-party inspection at loading (SGS, Bureau Veritas) is available for LC-backed or first-time contracts.
