Tunisia:
The volume of phosphate rock transported by rail from Compagnie des Phosphates de Gafsa’s (CPG) mining operations to the downstream plants of Groupe Chimique Tunisien (GCT) and Tunisian Indian Fertilizer S.A. (TIFERT) increased 6% in the first eight months of the year, to 1.08 million mt, according to an African Manager report, citing Tunisia’s Radio Mosaïque FM.
This compares to 1.015 million mt in the same period last year. The increase was due in part to Tunisian National Railway Co. (SNCFT) securing additional phosphate rail cars. TIFERT is the joint venture between CPG, GCT, and India’s Coromandel and GSFC.
