A ceremony for laying the foundation of a new urea plant was held in the Guvlymayak gengeshlik of the Turkmenbashi etrap in Balkan velayat, reports the newspaper "Neutral Turkmenistan."
The plant's designed capacity will be 1 million 155 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers per year. Construction is being carried out on behalf of the state concern "Türkmenhimiýa" by the Japanese company Mitsubishi in partnership with the Turkish company Gap İnşaat.
As noted by the speakers, urea is an export-oriented product capable of replacing imported mineral fertilizers.
The choice of the site in the western region is due to its proximity to the raw material base: natural gas is extracted along the Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea, which is essential for production.
The construction of the new plant also has social significance: its commissioning will create additional jobs, contributing to the improvement of the local population's well-being.
