Rwanda inaugurated a 100,000 mt/y ($19.2 million) fertilizer blending plant on Dec. 20, according to All Africa Global Media, citing the country’s Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI).
The plant, in the Bugesera Special Economic Zone located in Bugesera District, Eastern Province, is expected to surpass the country’s annual demand of 85,000 mt, which is currently satisfied by imports. The project is a joint venture under the Rwanda Fertiliser Co. (RFC), which involves OCP Group and the Government of Rwanda.
