Fertilizer

The facility is operated by ITRACOM Fertilizers, a Burundian company, and currently employs 1,500 workers.

Ethiopia currently imports the bulk of its fertiliser needs, particularly urea and nitrogen-based products, from countries such as Morocco and Russia

Nitrogen-based fertilizers, particularly urea, saw the steepest rise, up 20% year-on-year to an average of US$390 per tonne

These deals were formalized during the 2025 International Food Exhibition (IFE) in London.
