8origins
Freshdi Phosphate Rock suppliers come from 8 countries, led by Pakistan at 38.9%, as of 14 November 2026.
Only 18 suppliers are currently active in the Phosphate Rock category, and while 4 updated their listings in the last 30 days, 7 made updates over the past 90 days. This suggests a steady but not rapid turnover—suppliers are maintaining presence, but not aggressively refreshing inventory. For buyers, this means consistent access to current specs, but also that each conversation carries more weight, as there’s limited room for negotiation or substitution. Just 23 listings are currently live, which is a small catalog for a commodity like Phosphate Rock. This means buyers are less likely to find a perfect match without direct outreach, and the supply is likely to be more standardized than diverse. A low listing count also implies that suppliers treat this category as a core offering, not a side product. Suppliers come from 8 different countries, with Pakistan supplying 38.9% of the active exporters. This geographic spread offers buyers flexibility to compare regional quality, processing methods, or export regulations—especially useful if they're looking to mitigate risk from any single country’s supply chain or policy shifts.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Phosphate Rock had 4 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 2 the month before, a full 100.0% increase. The catalog is growing slowly, so only a small number of new offers appear each month. That means buyers see a mix of older and newer prices, with less change in the overall offer set. Compare listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which is closer to current market conditions.
Is the market busy?
4 of the 18 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The group includes sellers with established records and a few who are still building their presence. This gives buyers a broader range of options, but the newer ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Phosphate Rock listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 4 November 2026 - 23 active listings, 5 buyer requests, 7 source documents, and 91 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Phosphate Rock type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Phosphate Rock, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
