Product overview — NPK 8-20-30
Oil palm estate managers and banana plantation buyers request NPK 8-20-30 bulk price when annual K removal exceeds 200 kg K2O/ha and standard balanced NPK cannot supply potassium demand without excessive N and P over-application. This is a high-K grade at 30% K2O with 58% total nutrients — purpose-built for oil palm, banana and citrus plantations.
Importers in Malaysia, Indonesia, West Africa and Latin America stock 8-20-30 for mature plantation maintenance. Oil palm receives 1.5–2.5 kg/palm/year split across quarterly applications — the high K fraction supports bunch weight and oil content. Young palms use reduced rates of 0.5–1.0 kg/palm/year during the immature phase, increasing to full rate from year 4 when production begins. Oil palm tolerates chloride well — MOP-based K in 8-20-30 is appropriate.
Request a price quote for vessel parcels from 1,000 MT with mill COA. Delivery in 50 kg bags suits manual circle application; bulk suits mechanical spreader calibration in mature plantations. For sensitive intercrops such as cocoa and pepper, verify chloride tolerance before application.

Loading ports & logistics — NPK 8-20-30
Bagged NPK 8-20-30 ships in 50 kg PP woven bags with PE liner — minimum order 1,000 MT for dedicated bagging runs at Black Sea and MENA granulation terminals. FOB terms at load ports; CFR/CIF to Southeast Asian palm oil estates, West African banana belts and Mediterranean citrus orchards.
1,000 kg FIBC big-bags suit estate warehouses where mechanical spreaders calibrate circle application around oil palm and banana mats. Moisture below 1.5% is specified to prevent caking during humid tropical transit; covered estate storage is recommended when bags await quarterly plantation application windows.
Typical lead time 14–28 days from contract to bagging completion. Estate managers often book bagged 8-20-30 when manual circle application around palms limits bulk hold discharge at shallow-draft plantation ports.
Packaging & documentation — NPK 8-20-30
Bulk hold shipment with moisture barrier tarps, or 50 kg bags palletised for manual plantation circle application, or 1,000 kg FIBC for estate 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
Oil palm receives 1.5–2.5 kg/palm/year split quarterly — supporting bunch weight and oil content. Banana mats apply 200–300 g/mat/month during bunch formation. Citrus orchards band 200–300 kg/ha between spring flush and fruit expansion on high-K demanding blocks.
FAQ — NPK 8-20-30
Why is K so high at 30% in this grade?
Oil palm and banana remove 150–250 kg K2O/ha/year in harvested product. Standard balanced NPK cannot supply this K demand without excessive N and P over-application.
Can 8-20-30 be used on young oil palm?
Yes, at reduced rates (0.5–1.0 kg/palm/year) during immature phase. Increase to full rate from year 4 when production begins and K demand accelerates.
Is chloride in 8-20-30 a concern for oil palm?
Oil palm tolerates chloride well — MOP-based K in 8-20-30 is appropriate. For sensitive intercrops (cocoa, pepper), verify chloride tolerance before application.
