Townsville , where we have built storage and ship-loading facilities for our fertilizer from Phosphate Hill. Major Events Construction and commissioning of our Queensland Fertilizer Project facilities at Phosphate Hill, Mount Isa and Townsville has been completed. The first di-ammonium phosphate fertilizer was produced in December 1999. Market Australia currently imports phosphate fertilizer. Our facilities will replace approximately 500,000 tonnes of imported fertilizer and export 500,000 tonnes to South-East Asia annually.
Sales contracts are in place for the first five years.
We have contracts with Australian distributers Pivot, Incitec and Hi-Fert to meet their ammonium phosphate fertilizer requirements. World demand for phosphate fertilizers is predicted to grow two per cent annually. This provides us with significant potential to expand our facilities to take advantage of emerging market oppotunities.
