Infrastructure development

One of OCP AFRICA's primary goals is to provide assistance to smallholder farmers in making the transition from subsistence to commercial farming, including through the development of infrastructure across the African continent.

 

ocpOCP AFRICA heavily invests in production and logistics, and in many countries, this includes fertilizer blending and storage facilities. We have furthered this growth in African countries in several meaningful ways, including through the creation of blending facilities, fertilizer storage initiatives and the development of fertilizer supply partnerships. These projects are important because they allow us to reduce costs and be more agile and responsive to local needs

Our infrastructure projects have impacted markets across Africa including in Rwanda, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal, Guinea, Angola, Cameroon and Mozambique. 

For example, as part of the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative Programme in Nigeria, we are working to upgrade the country’s blending facilities through a national “revamping blenders” program, and we have signed a joint venture agreement to develop an NPK fertilizer plant and distribution network. We are also exploring fertilizer supply partnerships in Guinea and Angola.

Our contributions to infrastructure in Africa

Rwanda Rwanda
In Rwanda, OCP Africa makes fertilizer available from 5 to 15 percent below the country’s average cost, allowing smallholder farmers to purchase enough fertilizer to meet their needs, as well as additional inputs that may be required depending on the crop and soil type.
Zambia Zambia
In Zambia, OCP Africa is also in discussions to bring blending facilities on-line as part of its plan to address regional fertilizer requirements and barriers to fertilizer infrastructure development.
Ethiopia Ethiopia
In Ethiopia, we have signed a $2.4 billion partnership designed to significantly boost agricultural output by creating an annual domestic production capacity of 2.5 million tons. 
Nigeria Nigeria
In Nigeria, we have signed a joint venture agreement to develop an NPK fertilizer plant and distribution network.
