Oman’s Sohar Freezone announced on Aug. 25 that it has signed a landlease agreement with Integrated Solutions Plant and Land Services (FZC) LLC for 15,000 sqm within the Freezone to establish a liquid fertilizer plant. The project represents an initial investment of OMR 2.2 million (US$5.7 million) and includes the potential for future expansion, which would see the plant produce ammonium sulfate to strengthen Oman’s export sector, especially in Pakistan and Tanzania.
“The addition of a new liquid fertilizer plant, in partnership with Integrated Solutions Plant and Land Services (FZC) LLC, enhances Sohar’s ability to serve the local, regional, and global markets with high-quality agents for industrial production,” said Omar bin Mahmood Al Mahrizi, Sohar Freezone CEO and Deputy CEO of Sohar Port.
“Sohar can offer companies in all sectors a world-class integrated logistics and industrial hub with direct shipping to key markets and broadening our tenant profile to Egypt for the first time is a key step in our ongoing expansion,” he added.
