This guide explains the technical and commercial points buyers should verify when searching for a MOP fertilizer supplier.
Understand MOP 0-0-60 grades
Muriate of potash, or potassium chloride, is the most widely traded potassium fertilizer. It is commonly offered as standard pink material or refined white grades, and in crystalline or granular forms.
The purchase specification should define K₂O, moisture, particle size and form. Color alone does not determine agronomic value, so compare guaranteed analysis and intended use.
- K₂O content, commonly 60% minimum
- Granular or standard/crystalline form
- Particle-size distribution
- Moisture and caking condition
- Origin and packaging
Check crop and blending suitability
MOP contains chloride and is economical for many chloride-tolerant crops. Chloride-sensitive crops or quality programs may require sulphate of potash instead, so buyers should follow local agronomic guidance.
Granular MOP can be blended with compatible urea and phosphate materials. Match particle range and control handling to reduce segregation and breakage.
Evaluate supplier and shipment terms
Compare like-for-like form, origin, bagging and Incoterm. Confirm the expected net load, document list, quotation validity and inspection procedure. Warehouses should keep MOP protected from moisture.
MC INTERNATIONAL supplies MOP for direct application and fertilizer blending. Buyers can review typical specifications and request a destination quotation.
Review the relevant product or request terms
Specifications, availability and freight are confirmed for each commercial enquiry. Include your required quantity, packaging, destination port and shipment period.

What is the difference between pink and white MOP?
Color reflects mineral source and refining; both can supply potassium. Buyers should compare guaranteed K₂O, impurities, form and application needs.
Is MOP suitable for all crops?
No. Many crops tolerate it well, but chloride-sensitive crops or quality programs may require a low-chloride potassium source.
