The ambitious facility is designed to feature an annual production capacity of approximately 1.3 million metric tonnes of diammonium phosphate (DAP), marking a strategic diversification into phosphate nutrients alongside Fertiglobe’s established nitrogen fertilizer operations.
The expansion is expected to add annual production capacity of 540,000 tonnes of ammonia, 520,000 tonnes of urea and 400,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate.
The agreement reaffirms both parties’ commitment to strengthening local agricultural input production, improving farmers’ access to quality fertilizer, and advancing food security in Nigeria.
Ghana has lined up two fertilizer projects that could sharply expand domestic production, including a 500,000-ton plant in the Eastern Region and a separate US$10 million organic fertilizer facility.
The complex will have capacity of nearly 3 million tons a year, including 2.4 million tons of phosphate fertilizers and 570,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizers.
