CF Industries, Inc. can produce approximately 2.1 million tons of dry
phosphate fertilizer products annually using its mining, rock
beneficiation, chemical processing, and storage and shipping
operations in Central Florida.
The company began phosphate operations in Florida in 1969, with the
purchase of a phosphate complex (now idled) in Bartow. In 1971, it
purchased a second manufacturing complex in Plant City.
The Florida operations include:
• A phosphate rock mine and beneficiation plant in Hardee County.
• A phosphate fertilizer manufacturing complex in Plant City.
• A phosphate fertilizer storage and shipping complex at the Port of Tampa.
• An ammonia terminal at the Port of Tampa.
These operations mine phosphate rock, beneficiate (upgrade) it,
process it into phosphate fertilizer products, and ship those
fertilizers to domestic and offshore customers. The operations
produce diammonium phosphate (DAP) and
monoammonium phosphate (MAP)
fertilizers, the two most used phosphate products in world and U.S.
markets. The company ships these products via rail, water, and
truck, serving agricultural and other customers directly and via the
company’s vast in-market distribution network.
