en.Wedoany.com Reported - The National Mining Agency of Colombia (ANM, Agencia Nacional de Minería) has added three new phosphate mining blocks in the municipalities of Ramiriquí, Ciénaga, and Turmequé in the department of Boyacá, expanding the mining round to strengthen food security and promote the country's fertilizer industry.

These new blocks expand investment and exploration opportunities in the phosphate mining round, which covers one of the minerals strategically important for strengthening Colombia's agricultural sector, aiming to consolidate mining objectives for national productive development. The selection of the new blocks is based on Boyacá's high geological potential for phosphate rock, a key mineral for fertilizer production. In 2025, the department's phosphate production exceeded 26,000 tons, representing a growth of over 34% compared to the previous year.

Boyacá plays a significant role in Colombia's agricultural production and is known as the country's "agricultural breadbasket." Data from 2025 shows that agricultural activities account for approximately 11% of the department's GDP, further highlighting the potential to integrate phosphate production with the agricultural value chain and the development of the national fertilizer industry. The National Mining Agency has invited interested parties to consult detailed information on available areas, requirements, timelines, and process conditions through the "Phosphate Mining Round" section of the specialized portal "Colombia Mining."
