Sulfate of Potash (“SOP”) is the second major form of potash, which is particularly
effective when used for the cultivation of horticultural crops, tobacco, and chloridesensitive
plants like citrus fruits. SOP is a potassium sulfate compound, which has
the chemical formula K2SO4. This sulfate-based potash product has a total global
market size of approximately 6 million tonnes. SOP provides the potassium needed to
nourish crops, strengthen plants, ward off disease, improve transportability, and add
flavor. These benefits of SOP fertilization are very important because crop growth
efficiency and yield provide sustainable food supplies for the rapidly expanding
global population, shrinking available agricultural land, and a growing global middleclass.
