Egyptian SOP producer NCIC has issued a sales tender for 1,500t of water-soluble SOP, closing on 18 October.
The product will be offered in 50kg bags on a fob basis for loading by the end of November.
NCIC made awards in its 25 September SOP sales tender at $655-660/t fob equivalent, the first time in two years that it has offered SOP for export. It was previously carrying out maintenance at some of its ovens and supplying the domestic market exclusively.
NCIC is now operating at full capacity, producing water-soluble SOP at a rate of 50 t/d.
