Phosphate is a relatively low unit-value commodity. Therefore, most phosphate rock extraction operations tend to involve surface mining, large-volume extraction and reasonably low transport distances to major markets (Bartels & Gurr 1994). In comparison to many other mineral commodities, the demand for phosphate rock appears relatively predictable
