Vietnam's fertilizer major PVFCCo launches new product using 100% potassium sulphate
Petrovietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Corporation (PVFCCo or Phu My Fertilizer), has officially introduced its new product to the market: NPK PHU MY 15-15-15+5S+TE SOP, an advanced nutritional solution that contributes to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s agricultural sector.
The product is manufactured at the Phu My NPK plant in former Ba Ria-Vung Tau province (now part of Ho Chi Minh City after their merger), using modern chemical technology from Spain’ Incro S.A., with a production capacity of up to 250,000 tons per year.
Notably, it uses 100% premium potassium sulphate (SOP), a chlorine-free potassium source, making it ideal for chlorine-sensitive crops such as durian. This helps enhance nutrient absorption, improve crop quality, and effectively prevent fruit hardening disorders.

NPK PHU MY 15-15-15+5S+TE SOP features a balanced 15-15-15 nutrient formula, enriched with 5% sulfur (S) and essential micronutrients such as zinc (Zn) and boron (B).
The product supports comprehensive plant development, promotes firm and healthy fruit growth, reduces premature fruit drop, increases fruit set rate, extends shelf life, and significantly boosts both yield and product quality.
Importantly, cadmium (Cd) levels are strictly controlled, ensuring absolute safety for consumers and the environment, while meeting stringent export standards.
With its outstanding advantages in production technology, high-quality raw materials, and proven effectiveness, NPK PHU MY 15-15-15+5S+TE SOP is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to improve productivity and quality, paving the way for successful harvests and sustainable agricultural growth.
PVFCCo, a subsidiary of state-owned Petrovietnam, is listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange as DPM. The stock closed Friday at VND41,300 ($1.58) per share.
For 2025, the company targets a consolidated revenue of VND12,876 billion ($492.36 million) and post-tax profit of VND320 billion ($12.24 million).
In Q1, the company recorded VND4,120 billion ($157.5 million) in revenue and VND211 billion ($8.07 million) in profit, achieving 32% and 66% of the respective revenue and profit targets for the year.
