Groupe Chimique Tunisien (GCT) is preparing to ship its first phosphate fertilizer cargo this year to Brazil, according to Tunis Afrique Presse. The shipment will reportedly be shipped in mid-March, and will consist of 25,000-30,000 mt of TSP produced at GCT’s M’dhilla plant.
GCT last month inked a new contract with Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corp. (BADC) for the supply of 150,000 mt of TSP in 2023, according to the report. The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in mid-February for the tons, according to Tunisia’s Ministry of Agriculture (GM Feb. 17, p. 9).
