Turkey Fertilizer Exporters — 12 Verified Companies, Plants, Products & Websites

A complete B2B directory of Turkish fertilizer producers and exporters — verified company names, headquarter cities, founding years, parent affiliations, product portfolios and official websites, compiled from the Istanbul Chemicals and Products Exporters' Association (IMMIB).

Turkey Fertilizer Industry Overview

Turkey is one of the most important fertilizer producers and exporters in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East region. With combined domestic production capacity exceeding 8 million tonnes per year and annual fertilizer exports surpassing 1.2 billion USD, Turkey holds a strategic position in global fertilizer trade — connecting low-cost natural gas and phosphate rock supplies with the fast-growing agricultural markets of Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The Turkish fertilizer industry benefits from three structural advantages: deep-water port infrastructure at Mersin (Mediterranean), Iskenderun (Mediterranean), Bandirma (Marmara) and Samsun (Black Sea); proximity to major phosphate rock and sulfur sources; and a mature chemicals export infrastructure anchored by IMMIB — the Istanbul Chemicals and Products Exporters' Association — which provides export documentation, market intelligence and trade finance support to the sector.

The 12 fertilizer exporters listed in this directory represent the full spectrum of Turkish fertilizer production: integrated multi-product giants (Toros Tarim, Bagfas, Igsas), compound NPK specialists (Gemlik Gübre, Polisan, Partner Trakya), potassium and specialty producers (Tessenderlo Agrochem), organic and biostimulant innovators (Organiksa, Tua Tarim), and specialty agro-chemical subsidiaries of foreign multinationals (Buckman Turkey, Tessenderlo Agrochem). This diversity means that buyers from any region and any crop segment can find a Turkish counterpart capable of supplying their required fertilizer grades, packaging (50 kg bags, 500 kg / 1000 kg IBC, bulk vessel loads) and certification (REACH for EU markets, FDA for USA, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 22000 / FAMI-QS for specialty feed additives).

The Turkish fertilizer industry has been significantly modernized over the past decade. New investments in Mersin (Toros Tarim's phosphoric acid expansion), Bandirma (Bagfas's DAP de-bottlenecking), and Yumurtalik (Tessenderlo's SOP plant) have substantially increased both capacity and product quality. Turkish producers hold extensive FAMI-QS (Feed Additive and Premixture Quality System) certifications for animal feed phosphate exports, and most major plants have achieved ISO 17025 laboratory accreditation. Buyers can rely on Turkish suppliers for both commodity-grade fertilizers (CAN, DAP, TSP) priced at international benchmark levels and specialty grades (SOP, water-soluble NPK, biostimulant formulations) commanding premium positioning.

Turkish Fertilizer Exporters by Product Category

The 12 exporters in this directory cover every major fertilizer product category. The table below shows how exporters break down by product family. Note that several large integrated producers (Toros Tarim, Bagfas, Igsas) appear in multiple categories because they produce multiple fertilizer types, while specialty firms (Tessenderlo Agrochem, Organiksa, Della1) typically appear in a single category.

The category breakdown reveals that compound NPK fertilizers are produced by the largest number of Turkish exporters (8 of 12 companies), reflecting strong domestic and regional demand for blended crop nutrition. Phosphatic fertilizers (DAP, MAP, TSP) and foliar / water-soluble specialty fertilizers each have 6 producers. Nitrogen fertilizers (CAN, ASN) are produced by 4 firms, with Toros Tarim's Mersin plant being the largest single CAN exporter in the Eastern Mediterranean. Potassium specialty (SOP) production is a relatively recent addition via Tessenderlo Agrochem's Yumurtalik plant, marking Turkey's strategic diversification into high-value potash derivatives.

Production Plant Locations and Industrial Corridors

Turkey's fertilizer production is geographically concentrated in three coastal industrial corridors that benefit from deep-water port access, natural gas pipelines, and proximity to both raw material sources and major agricultural regions. Understanding this geography is essential for buyers planning logistics, freight comparisons and plant visits.

The Marmara Industrial Corridor

The Marmara corridor hosts four of the 12 listed exporters: Bagfas in Bandirma (Balikesir), Igsas in Kocaeli, Polisan in Dilovasi (Kocaeli) and Gemlik Gübre in Gemlik (Bursa). The Marmara corridor is the historical heart of Turkish chemical industries, benefiting from the Istanbul-Izmit industrial axis, the Bandirma port (which handles substantial fertilizer export volumes), and proximity to the Turkish domestic agricultural heartland of the Aegean and Central Anatolia. Bagfas in particular operates its own dedicated phosphate rock import and phosphoric acid production facility at the Bandirma port.

The Mediterranean Industrial Corridor

The Mediterranean corridor hosts two of the largest export-oriented fertilizer plants in Turkey: Toros Tarim's Mersin complex — the flagship Turkish fertilizer plant and one of the largest single-site CAN and DAP producers in the Eastern Mediterranean — and Tessenderlo Agrochem's Yumurtalik (Adana) SOP specialty plant. Both plants ship directly from the deep-water ports of Mersin and Iskenderun, giving them preferential logistics to North Africa (Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia), the Eastern Mediterranean (Israel, Lebanon), and increasingly to United States East Coast specialty fertilizer buyers.

The Black Sea Industrial Corridor

The Black Sea corridor hosts Toros Tarim's Samsun plant (a secondary production site focused on nitrogen fertilizers and ammonium nitrate for the Black Sea and Balkan markets) and Black Sea Gübre in the Samsun region. The Samsun port handles significant volumes of CAN exports to Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Russia. The Black Sea corridor's strategic advantage is its proximity to the Balkan and CIS agricultural markets, with shorter shipping times to Constanta (Romania), Varna (Bulgaria) and Odessa (Ukraine) than from Mersin.

Top Export Destinations for Turkish Fertilizers

Turkish fertilizer exports are diversified across multiple regional markets, with no single destination accounting for more than 25% of total export value. According to IMMIB and Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TIM) statistics, the leading destination markets for Turkish fertilizers are:

• Brazil — the single largest destination for Turkish DAP and MAP, primarily for the Brazilian soybean, corn and cotton sectors. Toros Tarim and Bagfas are the dominant Turkish suppliers to Brazil, with shipments routed from Mersin and Bandirma through the Brazilian ports of Santos, Paranaguá and Itaquí.
• United States — a growing specialty market for Turkish CAN, SOP and water-soluble NPK, particularly for the California Central Valley, Florida citrus and the U.S. Northeast specialty horticulture markets. Toros Tarim and Tessenderlo Agrochem are the leading U.S.-facing Turkish suppliers.
• European Union — Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal import substantial volumes of Turkish NPK, CAN and AS, primarily for the Mediterranean horticulture (citrus, olives, vegetables), vineyards and orchards sectors. The EU-Turkey Customs Union facilitates tariff-free trade for most fertilizer HS codes.
• Balkans — Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania are major CAN and AS destinations, supplied primarily from Toros Tarim's Samsun plant via short-sea shipping across the Black Sea.
• Middle East — Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the UAE import Turkish specialty and compound fertilizers, particularly water-soluble grades for fertigation systems in greenhouse and date palm cultivation.
• North Africa — Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia import Turkish CAN, AS and NPK for cereal, citrus and vegetable production.
• Sub-Saharan Africa — Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya and Tanzania are growing destinations, primarily for Turkish compound NPK grades designed for tropical soils and smallholder farmers.

HS Codes for Turkish Fertilizer Exports

Turkish fertilizer exports are classified under HS Chapter 31, which is divided into four main headings based on the primary nutrient content. Understanding the HS code structure is essential for trade documentation, customs clearance, tariff classification and bill of lading (konşimento) search.

• HS 3102 — Mineral or chemical fertilizers, nitrogen. Includes Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Ammonium Nitrate (AN), Ammonium Sulfate (AS), Urea, and mixtures of nitrogen fertilizers. Major Turkish exporters under this heading: Toros Tarim (CAN), Igsas (CAN, AS), Black Sea Gübre (CAN).
• HS 3103 — Mineral or chemical fertilizers, phosphatic. Includes Triple Super Phosphate (TSP), Single Super Phosphate (SSP), and ground rock phosphate. Major Turkish exporters: Bagfas (TSP), Toros Tarim (TSP), Igsas (SSP-equivalent grades).
• HS 3104 — Mineral or chemical fertilizers, potassic. Includes Muriate of Potash (MOP, KCl) and Sulfate of Potash (SOP, K2SO4). Major Turkish exporter: Tessenderlo Agrochem (SOP from Yumurtalik).
• HS 3105 — Compound fertilizers containing two or three of the nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Includes Diammonium Phosphate (DAP — HS 3105.30), Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP — HS 3105.40), NPK blends (HS 3105.20), and other compound grades. Major Turkish exporters: Toros Tarim, Bagfas, Igsas, Gemlik Gübre, Polisan, Partner Trakya.

For specialty fertilizers — water-soluble NPK for fertigation, foliar micronutrients, biostimulants and animal feed phosphates — additional HS codes under chapters 38.24 (chemical products not elsewhere specified) and 23.09 (animal feed preparations) may apply.
