\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

After months of speculations, Dangote Urea fertilizer is now finally on sales nationwide and it currently pushes out a minimum of 120 trucks per day across the country.<\/p>\n

Group Executive Director, (Strategy, Capital Projects & Portfolio Development) \u00b7 Dangote Industries Limited,\u00a0 Devakumar\u00a0 Edwin, revealed to the press over the weekend that the Plant which has the capacity to turn out more than 4,500 tonnes of urea per day will conveniently meet the local demand and even produce for exports.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201c\u2026We have the capacity to turn out 4,500 tonnes of Urea everyday\u2026this is a bulk application fertilizer\u2026each crop in Nigeria or globally will require Nitrogen and this is a rich fertilizer, having 46 per cent nitrogen\u2026The company has the capacity to meet local demand and also export to African countries\u2026 Currently the demand is less than 1 million tonnes and we alone can\u00a0 produce 3 million tonnes, so we can easily meet local demand and also produce for export to other west African countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside fertilizer production, the company, according to Edwin is already working to support the farmers with training on application of the fertilizer and even establish laboratories across the country for proper soil examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe uniqueness of this plant, apart from the fact that we are producing is the focus on farmers\u2019 support, on training, education, development as we are now establishing laboratories across the country and even mobile laboratories where we can go drive around and take soil samples for proper examination to effectively grow the agricultural outputs across the country\u201d<\/p>\n

The Urea Fertilizer plant was built to tap into Nigeria\u2019s demand for fertilizer, a critical component of achieving food sufficiency for Africa\u2019s most populous country.<\/p>\n

The Fertilizer plant is expected to manufacture 3 million metric tonnes of urea per annum, with a view to reducing the nation\u2019s fertilizer imports, and generating $400m annual foreign exchange from export to Africa countries.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Meanwhile marketers\u00a0and farmers in Kano have described the newly introduced Dangote Fertilizer as a game changer and a forecast for the expected agricultural revolution in the country.<\/p>

Speaking at the event organized by Dan Hydro Company in Kano to mark the introduction of the fertilizer into the northern market, chairman of the Kano state Agro Dealers Association Alhaji Shuaibu Akarami said agro dealers have confidence in Dangote fertilizer as they have in all his products, adding that as a dealer who spent decades in the business he has discovered that Dangote fertilizer will have no problem penetrating the market in the North.<\/p>\n

With my experience in agro products, I can authoritatively say the product has met our expectations and that has confirmed the confidence we have in Dangote fertilizer and other sister products of the Dangote Group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/b>Dan-Hydro fertilizer Company in Kano which took delivery of the first batch of trucks in Kano said the timing and strategy for the introduction are rife.<\/p>\n

Head of operations, Dan- Hydro operations Mr. Hamadi Sekou Drammeh said the Dangote fertilizer conforms to all set standard required by the regulatory agencies.<\/p>\n

He said the phenomenon of perennial shortage of the fertilizer product will be over in the country.<\/p>\n

He said as part of its public enlightenment plan, the company was going to work with all stakeholders in the agricultural sectors.<\/p>\n
