Pakistani fertilizer producer Barket Fertilizer has commissioned its fourth sulfate of potash (SOP) unit, bringing total SOP capacity at its Port Muhammad Bin Qasim plant to 50 000 tpy.
The 15 500 tpy furnace started up on 15 September 2025 after it was initially planned to be commissioned in July before being further delayed until the end of August 2025.
The 50 000 tpy facility produces both water-soluble SOP and granular SOP in a 50/50 split.
Barket also has plans to expand its SOP capacity further to 64 500 tpy by the end of the 1Q26. It has already acquired the land necessary for this expansion.
