Minjingu Mines & Fertiliser Limited (MMFL) is the only phosphate mining and fertilizer manufacturing company in East Africa. Our operations are built on extracting high-quality natural phosphate and transforming it into effective fertilizer solutions that support farmers across Tanzania and beyond.
Through efficient mining, processing, and distribution systems, we ensure that farmers have access to reliable fertilizers that improve soil fertility, enhance crop performance, and increase agricultural productivity
At MMFL, phosphate rock is extracted using conventional open-pit mining techniques to ensure efficient and sustainable resource utilization.
Our mining methods include:
Use of excavators and haul trucks for safe and efficient extraction
Controlled mining operations to maintain quality and consistency
Continuous monitoring to ensure optimal production output
This process allows us to extract high-quality phosphate rock that forms the foundation of our fertilizer products.
After extraction, the phosphate ore undergoes a beneficiation process at our on-site plant. Key stages include: Crushing of raw phosphate rock Drying to remove moisture Separation of phosphate from impurities The result is a fine, powdered beneficiated phosphate rock that is rich in essential nutrients and ready for fertilizer production.
Our operations are designed to support large-scale agricultural needs across the region. Production Highlights: 165,000 tons of phosphate rock extracted annually, 150,000 tons of compound fertilizers produced each year, This capacity enables us to consistently supply high-quality fertilizers to farmers and agricultural stakeholders.
Minjingu fertilizers are trusted by farmers across Tanzania, East Africa and the rest of Africa, Our impact: serving over 1,000,000 farmers, distribution through 300+ agro-dealers, coverage across 102 districts Our strong distribution network ensures that farmers can easily access our fertilizer products when they need them most
To maintain reliability and efficiency, MMFL operates a dedicated logistics system.Our distribution approach: Fleet of branded trucks for direct delivery, timely supply to agro-dealers, maintenance of product quality during transportation. This ensures that fertilizers reach farmers efficiently, supporting continuous agricultural production.
Phosphate is a key nutrient for crop growth and plays a critical role in early crop establishment and energy transfer in crops, other benefits include;
Promotes strong and deep root systems, enabling plants to absorb water and nutrients more efficiently for healthy growth.
Improves overall plant performance, resulting in higher productivity, better-quality harvests, and increased farm profitability.
Phosphate mining involves extracting phosphate rock from the earth, which is processed into fertilizers that improve soil fertility and support healthy crop growth. It is essential for increasing agricultural productivity and crop yields.
After extraction, phosphate rock is crushed, dried, and processed through beneficiation to remove impurities. The refined material is then used to produce high-quality fertilizers with essential nutrients for crops.
Yes, phosphate fertilizers can be mixed with others like NPK to improve crop growth and yields when applied correctly.
Phosphate fertilizers enhance root development, improve nutrient uptake, support early crop growth, and increase overall plant productivity, leading to higher yields.
Minjingu fertilizers are distributed through a network of agro-dealers and a fleet of dedicated trucks, ensuring timely delivery and availability to farmers across Tanzania.
We provide high-quality fertilizer solutions designed to improve soil fertility, enhance nutrient efficiency, and help farmers achieve higher crop yields across Tanzania and East Africa.
