The Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO), India’s largest fertilizer producer, and the El Nasr Mining Company (ENMC) have set up a joint venture company in Egypt called the Indo-Egyptian Fertilizer Company (the company or IEFC). IEFC was incorporated in November 2005 to set up a greenfield phosphoric acid plant in Edfu, Aswan Governorate, Egypt, with an installed capacity of 0.45 million tons of P2O5 per annum. The project configuration consists of a phosphoric acid plant with capacity of 1,500 tons per day (100% P2O5) and a sulfuric acid plant with capacity of 4,500 tons per day, including power generation and related offsite facilities. The poject uses phosphate rock and sulfur as raw materials and produces phosphoric acid as output. The establishment of poject has been accorded the status of ‘Private Free Zone’ by the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI). The entire plant’s production of phosphoric acid will be exported under a long-term off-take agreement.
