How ADM’s Mono Ammonium Phosphate (MAP) Fertilizer Is Sourced and Transported

Curious about ADM’s fertilizer supply chain and how MAP fertilizer is developed? Follow along as we take you through ADM's fertilizer locations and how MAP fertilizer is sourced, processed, and moved through an elaborate network of sea, river, and land transportation modes. Keeping key crop nutrients like mono ammonium phosphate — commonly known as MAP or 11-52-0 — moving through the supply chain 24/7, every day of the year requires a complex fertilizer supply chain. It’s important for customers to understand the ins and outs of the MAP fertilizer journey so that they can make the best buying decisions for their business. Thanks to an interconnected global supply chain and outstanding infrastructure and contracting expertise, ADM is an optimal partner to meet your MAP fertilizer supply needs. Next, we’ll get into the nuts and bolts of how MAP fertilizer makes its way from source to soil. First, ADM contracts and acquires crop nutrition ingredients from both domestic and international locations. We maximize our shipments through a vast network of waterway and land routes for a reduced carbon footprint. Rock phosphate, the key ingredient in mono ammonium phosphate, is mined from ADM fertilizer locations including the United States, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. From there, the raw material goes through a series of processing steps at production plants. The final products are MAP fertilizer granules that are ready to ship via an extensive network of marine vessels, Stevedoring barges, trucks and railcars. It takes about three months for MAP fertilizer to reach its final destinations, but ADM keeps our partners informed every step of the way about influences including supply, demand, and other potential price factors so that they can make right purchasing decisions at the right time. By keeping you informed through transparent pricing and flexible delivery options, along with expert management and oversight on each leg of the MAP fertilizer journey, ADM helps reduce costs and increases efficiency from source to soil.
