The Economic importance of Phosphoric Acid

Production Volume: 40 million tons per anum (of P2O5)
Unitary price: US$ 1.500 per ton P2O5
Annual "turnover": US$ 600 billion!
Phosphoric Acid is important because it is a source of "high concentration" Phosphorus for vegetables and animals (beside its Industrial Usages).
And if "we" producers of Phosphoric Acid were a "nation", its GDP would fit in the top 20!*
Or 1% of World GDP. Very important economic thing!

The figures are inacurate (but realistic)!
