Around 730,000 tonnes a year of phosphate concentrate at roughly 31 % P2O5 once defined the throughput of San Juan de la Costa, the dedicated loading point for the Roca Fosfórica Mexicana (Rofomex) mine on the Gulf of California. Ships load over an open roadstead rather than at a sheltered quay, with phosphate rock transferred in bulk to waiting carriers. The site is not set up for containers, general-cargo customs clearance or dangerous-goods handling — it serves a single mineral commodity. Hinterland access is thin: a road links the remote company site northwest of La Paz, and there is no rail connection. Operations were disrupted when Hurricane Juliette damaged the mine in 2001, though phosphate export remained the port's defining role. For containers or general freight into Baja California Sur, forwarders use Pichilingue near La Paz, with Guaymas across the gulf for other bulk cargo.
