Turkish fertilizer producer Gemlik Gübre Sanayii AŞ is expected to start operations at a new granular urea and UAN plant in the first quarter of 2025, according to parent company Yildirim Group.
The new facility will have capacity to produce 1,640 mt/d of granular urea and 500 mt/d of UAN. Yildirim puts the total cost of the project at $300 million and said the new output would equate to some 20% of Turkey’s demand for urea.
Gemlik Gübre is Turkey’s largest producer of CAN and last year produced 378,000 mt of CAN 26% and 37,000 mt of CAN 27%, as well as 3,000 mt of AN 34%, according to Yildirim.
