Under the 20-year deal, the JPMC will sell
850,000 tonnes per year to the German company at world market rates, according
to a JPMC statement carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra. The agreement was
signed by JPMC CEO Abdul-Wahab Al-Rawad, and LUMA Managing Director Ralf
Keller. JPMC Board Chairman Muhammad Al-Thneibat attended the signing ceremony.

door to broader cooperation between the JPMC and German companies in the field
of phosphate-based fertilizers.

establishing a phosphoric acid plant in Aqaba or Al-Shidiyah (south), and
agreed to continue discussions to sign a memorandum of understanding to this
