The company focuses on processing phosphate ore into high-quality concentrate to support fertilizer manufacturing and chemical industries across the region.
National Impact
IDMI's operations deliver substantial and lasting benefits to the Jordanian economy:
-
USD 130 million in direct investment to build and operate the plant.
-
Enhancement of JPMC's export capacity by an additional 2 million tonnes per year.
-
Utilization of approximately 115 million tonnes of previously unexploited phosphate stockpiles.
-
USD 400 million in projected annual export revenues — USD 8 billion over the contract period.
-
270+ direct jobs and approximately 1,850 indirect jobs, primarily for local community members in southern Jordan.
Advanced beneficiation. Precision engineering. World-class standards.
At IDMI's beneficiation plant in Eshidiya, southern Jordan, low-grade phosphate ore is processed into high-grade concentrate at an initial production capacity of 2 million tonnes per year. The plant operates under a 20-year BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer) agreement with the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC), and produces concentrate in three grades — Premium-Grade, High-Grade, and Standard-Grade — all meeting stringent moisture and fines specifications.
Located in the Ma'an Governorate of southern Jordan, approximately 300 km southeast of Amman and 125 km northeast of Aqaba, the Eshidiya site is strategically positioned for efficient concentrate export via JPMC's established road transport network to the Red Sea port.
