Product overview — NPK 17-17-17

Request NPK 17-17-17 price per ton for bulk compound supply from 1,000 MT — this grade delivers 51% total nutrients in an equal N-P-K ratio that simplifies nutrition planning for mixed-crop distributors and greenhouse operators. Each granule carries balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from pipe-reactor or drum granulation at integrated complexes in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The grade is widely stocked by importers serving protected horticulture in Turkey, the Levant and North Africa, where tomato, pepper and cucumber programmes need a single base dressing before bed formation. Field-crop buyers in Romania, Ukraine and the Balkans use 17-17-17 as a pre-plant foundation for wheat-sunflower rotations, topping up nitrogen at tillering when yield targets exceed 6 t/ha.

Standard production uses MOP as the potassium source; chloride-sensitive crops such as potato, tobacco and avocado require a chloride-free SOP-based variant — specify at contract stage. Granules are free-flowing with anti-caking treatment applied at the mill for tropical discharge conditions.

Loading ports & logistics — NPK 17-17-17

High-analysis balanced compound for greenhouse and horticulture programmes — contract MOQ 1,000 MT ships as 50 kg PP bags or 1,000 kg FIBC in containers, or on coaster and multipurpose vessels from 1,000 MT to Mediterranean and Levant importers without bulk discharge.

FOB origins: Novorossiysk, Taman, Odessa (Black Sea); Jebel Ali, Dammam (MENA). Typical bulk NPK 17-17-17 parcels run 3,000–25,000 MT on geared bulk carriers with loading rates 4,000–10,000 MT/day — higher analysis increases hygroscopicity, so covered holds and prompt warehouse transfer at discharge are recommended.

CFR/CIF to India (Kandla, Mundra, Chennai), Turkey (Iskenderun, Mersin), Egypt (Damietta, Alexandria) and East Africa horticulture hubs. Typical lead time 14–28 days from contract confirmation to loading window.

Packaging & documentation — NPK 17-17-17

Bulk vessel holds are standard for distributor and cooperative buyers. Bagged options: 50 kg PP woven bags with PE liner, palletised and stretch-wrapped, or 1,000 kg FIBC big-bags for markets with forklift discharge. Each lot ships with mill certificate of analysis (N, P2O5, K2O, moisture, granule size), commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection at load port available for LC-backed contracts.

Application programmes

Greenhouse tomato and pepper: 300–500 kg/ha incorporated before bed formation as the sole base dressing for the first fruit set cycle. Winter wheat: 250–350 kg/ha pre-plant broadcast, with supplemental urea at tillering on high-yield programmes above 7 t/ha. Sunflower: 200–300 kg/ha banded at sowing — the balanced P and K support root establishment through the vegetative phase before potassium demand rises at flowering.

FAQ — NPK 17-17-17

How does 17-17-17 compare to 16-16-16 on freight cost per nutrient?

At 51% total nutrients versus 48% for 16-16-16, each tonne of 17-17-17 delivers roughly 6% more N, P and K — reducing ocean freight per kg of applied nutrition on long-haul routes to South Asia and East Africa.

Is 17-17-17 suitable for drip fertigation systems?

Granular 17-17-17 is not water-soluble and is intended for soil incorporation or broadcast. For fertigation, specify water-soluble NPK grades or dissolve only after confirming compatibility with your filtration and injector setup.

What nitrogen forms are present in standard 17-17-17?

Typical production combines ammonium and nitrate nitrogen with water-soluble phosphorus and potassium from MAP/DAP and MOP. The exact N fraction split varies by mill — request the COA for ammonium-to-nitrate ratio before blending into specialty compounds.
