General | The fertilizer production facility, located in El Sebaaeya district of Edfu, produces single superphosphate and triple superphosphate at a combined capacity of 1,600 MT/day. The facility resides on a 350,000 sq m plot area and is divided into two zones. The first comprises fertilizer production and auxiliary facilities stretching over a total expanse of 207,000 sq m. The second is reserved for future production of sulfuric acid. Ideally located 500 m away from the Nile River banks, the facility is assured of a secure water supply source that is vital for its industrial/domestic uses and cost-effective operations. | |
