Product overview — NPK 14-14-23
Banana, citrus and processing tomato buyers request NPK 14-14-23 bulk price when fruiting crops need potassium-forward nutrition at 51% total nutrients. This grade delivers 23% K2O with balanced 14% N and 14% P2O5 — driving sugar accumulation, fruit colour and tuber specific gravity while maintaining baseline N and P for sustained crop growth through the reproductive phase.
Importers in West Africa, the Gulf and Latin America stock 14-14-23 as a dedicated fruit and tuber SKU alongside basal balanced NPK at planting. Potato programmes apply it at tuber initiation when K demand accelerates for bulking. The 2–4 mm granule broadcasts on plantation blocks and side-dresses cleanly in drip-irrigated vegetable rows.
Request a price quote for vessel parcels from 1,000 MT with mill COA confirming N, P2O5, K2O and moisture. Compared with separate urea and MOP applications, a single 14-14-23 pass reduces labour on large plantation blocks while pre-positioning K during peak uptake without a separate MOP top-dress on moderate K soils.

Loading ports & logistics — NPK 14-14-23
NPK 14-14-23 for inland buyers ships in 1,000 kg FIBC big-bags or 20–24 MT container lots where destination ports cannot accept full bulk vessels. Coastal feeder parcels run 1,000–5,000 MT on coaster tonnage from Black Sea and MENA load terminals.
Container and FIBC deliveries serve landlocked distributors, regional blending plants and greenhouse clusters without berth draft for handysize carriers. 50 kg retail bags available on the same FOB terms when buyers need mixed packaging for cooperative retail networks.
Lead time 14–30 days depending on container availability and feeder line scheduling. Banana belt importers often co-load 14-14-23 FIBC with MOP in separate holds ahead of bunch-fill season.
Packaging & documentation — NPK 14-14-23
Bulk hold shipment with moisture barrier tarps, or 50 kg bags palletised for retail repack, or 1,000 kg FIBC for cooperative direct purchase. Each lot includes mill certificate of analysis, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection at loading available for LC-backed contracts.
Buyer segments & crop programmes
Banana plantations apply 200–300 g/mat/month during bunch formation. Processing tomatoes receive 250–350 kg/ha split between flowering and fruit set — the K fraction improves Brix and colour uniformity for paste production. Citrus orchards band 200–300 kg/ha between spring flush and fruit expansion.
FAQ — NPK 14-14-23
Why is K elevated to 23% in this formula?
Banana, citrus and potato remove 2–3× more K than N from soil during harvest. 14-14-23 pre-positions potassium availability during peak uptake without requiring separate MOP application.
Does 14-14-23 suit drip fertigation?
Granular 14-14-23 dissolves too slowly for direct drip injection. Use water-soluble K-enriched NPK for fertigation; apply granular 14-14-23 as dry broadcast or soil incorporation.
Can 14-14-23 replace MOP top-dress on potatoes?
On moderate K soils, a single 300 kg/ha application of 14-14-23 at tuber initiation may supply adequate K. High-yield irrigated potato on sandy soil still benefits from supplemental MOP.
